2017 Map of Hensley Butte

About this map

The Ochocho Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape along the boundary of Jefferson and Crook Counties. Much of the territory falls within the Ochoco National Forest, where a network of forest roads like Allen Creek Rd and Lofton Creek Rd provide access to complex terrain defined by deep canyons and prominent mesas. Local landmarks such as Cougar Rock, Little Table Mtn, and Big Table rise above the drainage systems of McKay Cr and Lofton Cr. The map preserves the specific configuration of these natural corridors, including Rail Canyon and Water Trough Canyon, which historically guided movement through this portion of Central Oregon. Water sources are scarce but significant, noted by features like Bottleneck Spring and various creeks that feed into the larger regional watershed.
