2011 Map of Firestone Butte

About this map

Firestone Butte and the surrounding volcanic terrain of Deschutes County dominate this modern US Topo sheet, illustrating a landscape defined by forest management and geological landmarks. This high-desert region is characterized by a dense network of National Forest Development Roads, such as Nat For Dev Rd 2310 and Nat For Dev Rd 650, which provide access to the timber and recreation areas managed by the U.S. Forest Service. The presence of features like Quartz Mtn Rd leading toward Quartz Mountain and the specialized Lava Bed Rd reflect the unique geological composition of this Oregon interior. Grounded in 2009 NAIP imagery and GNIS data, the map reveals a topographic pattern where relief is centered on distinct volcanic vents like East Butte and Rogers Butte, connected by arterial routes such as Mahogany Butte Rd.
