2011 Map of Butter Creek Junction

About this map

Pine City and the surrounding high desert terrain of Morrow County are documented in this 2011 survey, which illustrates a landscape defined by seasonal watercourses and remote agricultural outposts. The drainage systems of Butter Creek and Little Butter Creek carve through the region, creating named depressions like Mule Hollow and providing the geographical framework for local infrastructure. A network of rural routes, including the suggestively named Wagon Trail Rd and Pine City Rd, connects the small settlement of Butter Creek Junction to outlying landmarks. Genealogists may find particular interest in the location of the Sand Hollow Cemetery situated near the intersection of Barclay Ln, while topographical features such as Carpenter Butte provide clear navigational points across the relatively open plateaus of eastern Oregon.
