2017 Map of Firestone Butte

About this map

Deschutes National Forest encompasses this volcanic landscape dominated by a network of cinder cones and seasonal drainage basins. The central terrain is defined by The Potholes, a series of depressions that sit amidst a high-elevation plateau. This 2017 survey details the complex system of forest development roads and off-highway vehicle (OHV) trails that serve the timber and recreation interests of the region. Distinctive volcanic peaks like Firestone Butte, Ground Hog Butte, and the prominent Quartz Mtn rise sharply from the surrounding forest floor. Access routes such as Lava Bed Rd and Mahogany Butte Rd navigate the undulating contours, providing a modern record of land management and backcountry infrastructure in central Oregon.
