2014 Map of Hampton Butte

About this map

Hampton Butte dominates the southern landscape of this 2014 survey, marking a significant elevation point where the high desert terrain of central Oregon meets the borders of Crook and Deschutes counties. The drainage patterns of the area are defined by seasonal watercourses like Dry River and Hampton Cr, which carve through the volcanic landscape toward the north. A network of rural routes, including SE Merrill Rd and Lizard Creek Rd, provides access across the sparse terrain. While the geography is primarily characterized by its open sagebrush and juniper slopes, smaller features like Yank Gulch and Gibson Cr offer specific landmarks for those tracing the historical grazing or transit paths that have long defined this portion of the Oregon high country.
