About this map

Foley Butte rises as a prominent landmark in the Och Oco National Forest, a terrain defined by its complex drainage network and isolated springs. Surveyed in the late 1960s, this area spans the border between Jefferson and Crook counties, showing a landscape managed for both resource extraction and observation. A Lookout Tower sits atop the butte, providing a critical vantage point over the timbered slopes of the Mountain.

The map reveals a network of waterways including Awbrey Creek, Barber Creek, and the East Fork, alongside numerous named water sources like Rainbow Trough Spring and Bug Spring. Evidence of land use is visible in the scattered Borrow Pits and a primitive transportation system consisting of several Jeep Trails and unnamed roads that navigate the varying elevations, including notable formations such as Sheep Rock and the deep incision of Board Hollow.
