2014 Map of Dutchman Butte

About this map

Dutchman Butte rises above a landscape defined by the intersection of Douglas, Curry, and Josephine counties in southern Oregon. This 2014 survey captures a terrain marked by extensive Bureau of Land Management road networks, such as BLM-32-8-1.1 and BLM-4608, which weave through the drainage basins of West Fork Cow Creek and Mule Cr. The prominence of Ninemile Mtn and Hayes Ridge suggests a region primarily dedicated to timber and resource management, with higher elevations such as Walker Prairie and Jackass Prairie breaking the timberline. A unique aviation landmark, the Calvert Peak Airport, sits perched on a ridgeline, providing a critical access point in this remote corner of the Pacific Northwest. Smaller water features like Ninemile Spring and Slotted-Pen Cr underscore the complex hydrology that feeds into the larger W Fork Cow Cr system.
