About this map

Quartz Mountain dominates the southeastern corner of this landscape within the Deschutes National Forest, rising sharply above a terrain defined by volcanic features and high-elevation openings. The map reveals a land utilized for its natural resources, indicated by the Cinder Pit near Ground Hog Butte and another situated directly on the slopes of Firestone Butte. A network of 4wd roads provides the primary access through these timbered uplands, connecting points of interest like the Lookout Tower on East Butte.

Evidence of the region's geological character is found in the naming of Pumice Flat and the curious designation of H O L E S in the northern sections. This 1982 edition, based on earlier aerial photography, captures the forest's infrastructure before modern changes, documenting the exact placement of survey markers and remote resource extraction sites like the Borrow Pit located central to the quadrangle.
