2020 Map of Finley Butte

About this map

La Pine and its surrounding high desert landscape are defined by volcanic geology and the sprawling reach of the Deschutes National Forest. The topography is dominated by the massive Newberry Volcano and its associated peaks, including Finley Butte and Abacus Buttes. Water is a precious commodity in this environment, represented by the meandering Little Deschutes River on the western edge and Paulina Cr, which cuts through the Paulina Prairie. For local historians, the presence of the Improved Order of Redmen Cem and Breese Cem provides specific points of interest regarding early 20th-century fraternal organizations and homesteading families. The map also reveals an extensive network of specialized routes, such as Peter Skene Ogden, alongside numerous snow trails like Newberry #121 (Snow), indicating the area's modern identity as a hub for year-round outdoor recreation.
