2011 Map of Hamner Butte

About this map

Hamner Butte and its surrounding peaks dominate this landscape in Deschutes County, revealing a volcanic topography defined by cinder cones and basalt flows. To the north, the waters of Davis Lake are fed by Ranger Creek and Odell Creek, the latter of which marks a significant riparian corridor through the high-elevation terrain. This 2011 survey documents the remote character of the area, where human presence is limited to sparse infrastructure like Co HWY 1352 and the isolated Black Rock Ranch near the southern boundary. The map illustrates a complex network of forest roads and trails circumnavigating landmarks such as Saddle Butte, Ringo Butte, and the prominent Davis Mountain, reflecting the area's use for timber management and backcountry access within the national forest system.
