2020 Map of Horn Butte

About this map

Horn Butte stands as a prominent topographical feature in this high plateau region of Gilliam County. The landscape is defined by the sharp incisions of Eightmile Canyon and Fourmile Canyon, which drain toward the drainage of Willow Cr in the northeast. This 2020 survey reveals a quiet, agrarian character where large sections of land, such as Hurlburt Flats, are accessed by a network of rural roads and lanes. Named routes like Sullivan Rd, Rhea Ln, and Taggares Ln suggest a history of family-held land and ranching interests that have persisted through generations in this part of Oregon. The grid of the Public Land Survey System remains the primary framework for navigation across the high desert terrain.
