2023 Map of Foster Butte

About this map

Fremont National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape in Lake County, where a network of springs and seasonal lakes supported early 21st-century ranching and forest management. The presence of McCall Dipping Vat Spring and Sherlock Dipping Vat Spring points to a history of livestock grazing, while topographic features like New England Flat and Foster Flat Meadow illustrate the relatively level plateaus that characterize this section of the Oregon outback. Hydrological patterns are dominated by the headwaters of Duncan Creek and McCall Creek, alongside numerous named catchments such as Buckaroo Lake and Grassy Lake. This contemporary survey also documents the modern motorized access to the backcountry via the Mtr29 6055 Trl and the Pole Butte - Weyco Camp 9 corridor.
