About this map

Butter Cr carves a central path through this high-desert landscape on the border of Morrow and Umatilla Counties. The area is defined by a series of deep, branching drainages that feed into the creek, including Hoodlum Canyon, Frisco Canyon, and Cunha Canyon. These landforms suggest a topography shaped by seasonal runoff and long-term erosion, creating natural corridors through the plateau.

Human presence is sparse, concentrated primarily along the graded path of Gurdane Rd in the southeastern corner. The map documents the intricate network of canyons such as Bear Claw Canyon and Fingers Canyon, providing a precise look at the drainage patterns and land divisions of the Umatilla National Forest region. This 2017 edition records the exact contours of these named geographical features, essential for understanding the remote terrain between the regional plateaus.
