2017 Map of Burn Butte

About this map

Burn Butte and its surrounding high-altitude terrain sit at the convergence of the Deschutes National Forest, Winema National Forest, and Umpqua National Forest along the Douglas and Klamath county line. This 2017 survey details a landscape defined by volcanic peaks and the headwaters of several critical water systems. The Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail winds through the southwestern corner, passing near Maidu Lake and Miller Mtn. The drainage network is complex, featuring the upper reaches of the Little Deschutes River alongside numerous creeks like Big Marsh Cr and Rabbit Cr. Forest Service infrastructure is prominent, with numerous established routes such as Beals Loop and the Deer Creek Loop providing access to peaks like Hemlock Butte and Cappy Mtn.
