2014 Map of Home Creek Butte

About this map

Catlow Rim dominates this section of Harney County, creating a massive natural escarpment that separates the high desert plateau from the expansive Catlow Valley below. This 2014 survey documents a landscape defined by seasonal water and extreme relief, where drainage systems like Dry Cr and Home Cr carve paths toward the basin floor. The transition from the floor of the valley to the summit of Home Creek Butte represents a significant elevation change over a short horizontal distance, a characteristic topographical feature of the Oregon high desert.
