About this map

Scott Butte rises as a prominent landmark in this corner of Malheur County, defining the high desert drainage patterns of the southeastern Oregon interior. The surrounding landscape is etched by a network of seasonal watercourses and managed water features, including the meandering paths of Scott Butte Creek and Palomino Creek. To the southeast, the terrain transitions toward the drainage of Crooked Creek, where human intervention in the arid environment is evidenced by the Scott Ditch.
