2011 Map of Barnes Butte

About this map

Barnes Butte and the Pot Hills define the high desert topography of this Douglas County landscape during the early 21st century. The map depicts a strictly organized rural grid of section lines and gravel roads, reflecting the large-scale agricultural and ranching patterns of the region. Notable routes like Hayden Rd NE and Road 18 NE intersect the dry terrain, providing access to the vast open spaces between these isolated volcanic or erosional rises. This USGS survey highlights the characteristic eastern Washington layout where infrastructure is dictated by the township and range system, with ephemeral drainage patterns and small depressions scattered across the plateau between Woods Rd NE and the eastern boundary.
