2020 Map of Hamelton Butte

About this map

Hamelton Butte rises as a prominent landmark along the boundary of Klamath and Lake counties in this 2020 survey of south-central Oregon. The landscape is defined by the high-elevation drainages of Sand Cr and Calahan Cr, which weave through the timbered slopes of Booth Ridge. This map documents a transitional mountain environment where water sources like Echo Spring and the open expanse of Stratton Meadow provide essential resources in an otherwise arid, high-altitude terrain. The grid of the Public Land Survey System is clearly marked, illustrating the division of townships including t31s r11e and t32s r12e. This modern topographic study is a primary resource for understanding the contemporary hydrology and relief of this remote border region, capturing the relationship between seasonal watercourses and the volcanic landforms characteristic of the area.
