2023 Map of Hamelton Butte

About this map

Hamelton Butte serves as a prominent landmark in this high-altitude landscape along the border of Lake and Klamath counties. This 2023 survey illustrates a sparsely populated region defined by its complex hydrology and topographic ridges. To the north, Booth Ridge dictates the flow of local waterways, with Sand Creek and Long Creek carving through the terrain. The presence of Stratton Meadow suggests a seasonal catchment area amidst the timbered slopes, while isolated water sources like Echo Spring provide vital points of interest for those navigating the backcountry. The map also traces the headwaters of Callahan Creek and Dry Creek, providing a contemporary record of the drainage patterns in the eastern Cascades. This modern topographical study captures the enduring character of the Oregon wilderness before these features undergo further environmental or administrative changes.
