2011 Map of Arrastra Butte

About this map

Lace Camp serves as a small point of human activity within this high-desert landscape, located along Tao Rd and Dry Creek. The terrain is defined by a network of seasonal watercourses and deeply etched drainages, including Vanderhoof Canyon, Gallagher Canyon, and Fir Tree Canyon, which funnel toward the central Currant Creek. These features illustrate the complex hydrology of Wasco County before they join larger systems. To the south and east, the elevation rises toward prominent landmarks like Arrastra Butte, Coyote Mountain, and the basaltic outcrop of Black Rock. The presence of Mays Reservoir and Wyman Spring highlights the vital importance of water management for ranching and land use in this arid region. The road network, including the specifically named Alan Watts Dr and Ravindranath Dr, suggests a localized settlement pattern or retreat area integrated into the rugged topography.
