1981 Map of Fox Butte

About this map

Deschutes National Forest dominates this high-desert landscape on the boundary of Lake and Deschutes counties, where volcanic geology and range management define the terrain. The presence of Lava, The Blowouts, and the East Lava Field in the southern portion of the sheet points to the region's recent geological activity, anchored by the subterranean depth of Derrick Cave. Water management is central to the area's utility, evidenced by a network of isolated tanks and reservoirs such as Kittredge Reservoir, West Reservoir, and Squaw Butte Well. Evidence of human occupation is sparse, limited to functional landmarks like the Lookout Tower atop Fox Butte and the secluded Glen Cabin near the national forest boundary. The map is crossed by numerous 4wd tracks, illustrating the rugged infrastructure required to navigate between high points like Aspen Butte and the wide expanses of Watkins Flat.
