About this map

The Deschutes National Forest encompasses this high-elevation terrain where the borders of Deschutes and Lake counties meet. The landscape is defined by a dense concentration of volcanic features and cinder cones, including Fox Butte, Burnt Butte, Short Butte, and Long Butte. A network of forest roads and trails threads through these peaks, connecting significant landmarks like The Pyramid and Aspen Butte.

Water management in this arid region is marked by isolated catchments such as Kitteredge Reservoir, Jack Reservoir, and West Reservoir, which provide essential resources for the forest and local grazing. The southern portion of the map reveals the distinct topographical rise of Moohoo'oo Mtn and the long stretch of Hodna Ridge, while the southwestern corner features the curious geological depression known as The Blowouts, illustrating the varied volcanic and erosional history of the central Oregon plateau.
