About this map

The Deschutes National Forest encompasses this volcanic landscape dominated by the prominent shield-shaped peak of China Hat. Located within the broader reaches of the Newberry Volcano, the terrain is defined by its cinder cones and pumice deposits, evidencing the geologically recent activity of the High Cascades. Landforms such as Doublet Cones and Pumice Butte rise from the forest floor, surrounded by a complex network of forest roads and trails.

Modern land use is largely centered on backcountry recreation and resource management, as indicated by the extensive system of off-highway vehicle routes including Ohv #30 Trl and Newberry #1 Trl. These tracks weave through the pines, providing access to landmarks like Kelly Butte and the drainage of Issa Draw. The map documents the enduring intersection of timber management and recreational access in the central Oregon high desert.
