2017 Map of Flagstaff Butte

About this map

Whitman National Forest dominates this high-elevation landscape on the border of Union and Baker Counties. The terrain is defined by dramatic peaks and ridges, including Flagstaff Butte, Bald Hill, and Angel Point. Water management for lower-lying agricultural areas is evident through features like the S Catherine Ditch and Big Cr Ditch, which divert alpine runoff from streams such as S Fork Catherine Cr and Big Cr. The map reveals a network of Forest Service development roads, such as Nat For Dev RD 650, providing access to remote locations like Taylor Green and Gravel Flat. Numerous named springs, including Argenti Spring and Huckleberry Spring, suggest the critical importance of water sources in this timbered backcountry. This document serves as a detailed record of modern forest management and hydraulic infrastructure in the Oregon wilderness.
