1988 Map of Fort Butte

About this map

Warm Springs Indian Reservation and the Mt Hood National Forest meet in this high-elevation landscape, where the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail winds along the western border near the Old Indian Ridge Trail. The geography is defined by a network of drainage systems, notably the Warm Springs River and its South Fork, which carve through the terrain east of Fort Butte. Natural clearings such as Camas Prairie and Lemiti Meadow provide breaks in the forested slopes, while a Cinder Pit near Badger Creek points to the volcanic origins of the region's substrate. This 1980s survey captures the intersection of three counties—Wasco, Clackamas, and Marion—in a region preserved for timber, tribal use, and recreation.
