2014 Map of Foster Butte

About this map

Foster Butte serves as a prominent landmark in this high-altitude landscape of southern Oregon, situated within the Fremont National Forest. The terrain is characterized by a series of flats and meadows, including New England Flat and Foster Flat Meadow, which suggest a history of seasonal grazing or early livestock management. This is further evidenced by functional labels such as the McCall Dipping Vat Spring and Sherlock Dipping Vat Spring, indicating specific sites once used for sheep or cattle treatment. A network of Forest Service development roads, such as Natl Forest Develop Road 3010 RD, provides access across these remote ranges. Water resources are scattered throughout the quadrangle, from the seasonal Foster Lake and La-Brie Lake to numerous named springs like Pipe Spring and Deer Head Spring, which define the local hydrography.
