About this map

Butte Creek carves a winding path along the border of Clackamas and Marion counties, defining a landscape of dramatic elevation changes and numerous cataracts. This 2014 survey reveals a region defined by its hydrology, featuring notable landmarks such as Abiqua Falls, Butte Creek Falls, and Upper North Falls. The presence of Holy Rosary Cem in the northwest corner near Ettlin Loop provides a specific point of interest for genealogists tracing local families.

High-elevation clearings like Elk Prairie and Crooked Finger Prairie break up the timbered terrain, while Meyers Butte stands as a prominent landmark to the east. A network of rural routes, including S Sawtell Rd and Grade Rd SE, connects these remote natural features. The convergence of numerous tributaries, such as Little Abiqua Creek and North Fork Silver Creek, illustrates the complex drainage system of the Abiqua Basin.
