About this map

Beaver Creek and its many tributaries, including Cedar Swamp Creek and Beaver Butte Creek, carve through this section of Wasco County. The landscape is defined by significant elevations such as Beaver Butte, Rocky Point, and the southern extent of Long Ridge. This map captures a specialized corner of the Oregon interior where natural preservation and timber industry history overlap, anchored by the Persia M Robinson Natural Area and the Robinson Picnic Area.

A network of forestry and tribal roads, such as Bia 42 RD and various numbered Forest Service routes, crisscrosses the terrain, indicating the area's active management for resource extraction and recreation. The small settlement of Dahl Pine stands near the southeastern corner, while the presence of Beaver Lookout Rd points to the region's historical reliance on fire observation from the high ground above Butte Creek.
