2011 Map of Hogback Butte

About this map

Hogback Butte rises as a prominent landmark in this high-desert portion of Lake County during the early 21st century. The landscape is primarily defined by significant geological formations, including the broad plateau of Table Mountain situated to the south. This region of Oregon is characterized by its sparse infrastructure, where the primary movement through the terrain is facilitated by a network of rural routes such as County Hwy-5-12 and its branches, County Hwy-5-12b and County Hwy-5-12c. The map illustrates a high-plateau environment where natural topography dictates the path of local roads, reflecting the isolation and rugged nature of the Oregon outback. The drainage patterns visible on the sheet suggest a seasonal water system typical of this arid climate, where elevation changes between the buttes and the surrounding basin are the primary geographic features.
