2020 Map of Hogback Butte

About this map

Volcanic landforms dominate this high-desert landscape in northern Lake County, where isolated peaks rise above a network of remote access roads. Significant geological formations like Hogback Butte and Homestead Butte stand as primary landmarks in an area defined by its arid character. To the east, the terrain transitions into the East Lava Field near the slopes of Lava Mtn, illustrating the region's recent volcanic history. Movement through this section of the Oregon outback relies on primitive corridors such as Derrick Cave Rd and Sink Rd. The map also captures several smaller volcanic features, including Twin Buttes, Buck Butte, and Ludi Butte, which serve as essential navigational markers for researchers and surveyors exploring this portion of the high desert floor.
