1983 Map of Frederick Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Frederick Butte rises as a prominent landmark along the boundary between Deschutes and Lake counties in this high-desert region of Oregon. This 1983 provisional survey documents an arid landscape where water management is critical, as seen in the Concentration Reservoir No 3 and scattered seasonal basins like Little Benjamin Lake, Duck Lake, and Croker Lake. The terrain is defined by a series of volcanic features including Indian Butte, Peters Butte, and West Butte, which dictate the drainage patterns of ephemeral flows like Peters Creek. A notable piece of modern infrastructure, a Single Wooden Pole Powerline, traverses the western portion of the quadrangle, illustrating the reach of utilities into this sparsely populated territory. The presence of Hayes Spring highlights the few reliable water sources that would have been vital for early livestock operations in this interior basin.
