1963 Map of Cryder Butte

About this map

Deschutes National Forest dominates this volcanic landscape, where high buttes and mountain peaks define the topography of central Oregon. The terrain is marked by prominent elevations including Davis Mountain, Eagle Rock, and Cryder Butte, which stand above a network of timberlands and drainage systems. Flowing through the southern portion of the sheet, Crescent Creek and the Little River provide the primary watercourses, joined at the crossing of Kemp Bridge. The map reveals a land utilized for its resources, evidenced by Gravel Pits and a clear Pipeline corridor cutting through the forest. A network of Jeep Trails provides the only deep access into these wooded highlands, illustrating the remote character of the area in the early 1960s. This survey captures the intersection of Deschutes Co and Klamath Co, reflecting the jurisdictional boundaries and land management patterns of the era.
