2020 Map of Henkle Butte

About this map

Cloverdale serves as a central point in this high-desert landscape where irrigation and agriculture meet the eastern edge of the Deschutes National Forest. The presence of the Cloverdale Ditch and several water storage points, such as Cyrus Reservoir and Watson Reservoir, underscores the critical role of water management in this arid region. The terrain is defined by prominent volcanic features like Henkle Butte and Fryrear Butte, as well as the deep incisions of McKenzie Canyon and Whychus Creek. Small-scale aviation is represented by Pineridge Ranch Airport and Whippet Field, while a network of rural roads such as Camp Polk Rd and Holmes Rd connects local ranching and residential properties. The transition from the canyon rims to the flatlands near Dry Canyon illustrates the complex geology characteristic of Central Oregon's volcanic plateau.
