2020 Map of Beatys Butte NW

About this map

Guano Canyon and the winding course of Guano Slough define this high-desert drainage system in the southeastern corner of Lake County. This terrain is characterized by deep erosional features like Black Canyon and Blocks Canyon in the north, which cut through the volcanic tablelands common to this part of the Oregon Outback. The only significant transit corridor is Beattys Butte Rd, which provides access through an otherwise undeveloped landscape. The map reveals a sophisticated network of public land divisions, including T35S R28E and T36S R28E, marking out the vast acreage managed for livestock grazing and wildlife. The interplay of names like West Road Gulch suggests the historical importance of access routes for ranching operations in this isolated interior basin.
