2014 Map of Beaver Butte

About this map

Mount Hood National Forest dominates this section of Wasco County, where the high-altitude terrain is marked by prominent volcanic and geological features. Elevated peaks such as Beaver Butte and the sheer Rocky Point overlook a complex network of forest roads and water systems. Of particular note for those studying local water management and early infrastructure is the Clear Cr Ditch in the northeast, alongside natural drainages like Beaver Cr and Indian Cr. The landscape is a corridor of transit and observation, anchored by the Beaver Lookout and the Wapinitia Hwy, which cuts across the northern reaches. Moving south, the terrain descends toward Long Ridge, revealing a dense grid of forestry access routes and Bureau of Indian Affairs roads, including Bia-42 and Bia-17, reflecting the modern management of this timber-rich and watershed-critical environment.
