About this map

Hampton Butte rises as a prominent landmark within the Hampton Buttes, anchoring a landscape defined by seasonal drainages and high-desert terrain. The boundary between Crook Co and Deschutes Co bisects the southern portion of the quadrangle, illustrating the political division of this sparsely populated rangeland. Water is a defining yet transient element here, with the long course of the Dry River cutting across the north, while smaller channels like Gibson Creek, Lizard Creek, and Desert Creek descend from the higher elevations of the buttes.

Transportation in the early 21st century relies on a network of unpaved corridors, most notably Price-Twelvemile Rd and Van Lake Rd. These routes, along with Harman Rd, provide access through the complex topography of Yank Gulch and the surrounding drainages, where the hydrology of Hampton Creek and Clover Creek shapes the local geography. The map reveals a region where the natural landforms dictate the placement of the few existing roads.
