2017 Map of Cryder Butte

About this map

Deschutes National Forest dominates this Central Oregon landscape, where the volcanic topography of the High Desert meets a complex network of forest roads and waterways. Significant volcanic landmarks like Cryder Butte, Eagle Rock, and Ringo Butte rise above the terrain, providing distinct navigational points within the dense timberlands. The southern portion of the sheet is defined by the winding course of the Little Deschutes River and Crescent Cr, which are joined by man-made infrastructure such as the Mayfield Ditch and the crossing at Kemp Bridge. This area illustrates the management of water resources and timber access in the early 21st century, with the Gilchrist Express and numerous National Forest Development Roads like Nat For Dev Rd 6220 and Nat For Dev Rd 300 creating a grid for resource extraction and fire management across the Deschutes and Klamath county line.
