2014 Map of Beatys Butte NW

About this map

Lone Grave Butte and W Beaty Butte rise above the high desert floor of southeastern Oregon, marking a landscape defined by significant elevation changes and seasonal watercourses. This 2014 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey details the complex drainage patterns of Guano Slough, which winds through the central terrain towards Guano Canyon. The presence of Link Lake in the southwestern corner highlights the scattered water sources vital to this arid region. Geologic features like West Road Gulch and the deep incisions of Black Cyn reflect the erosional history of the volcanic plateau. This map provides an essential baseline for researchers tracking changes in public land use and watershed health within Lake County.
