2024 Map of Howard Butte

About this map

Wallowa National Forest dominates this northern Oregon landscape, where the terrain transitions from high ridges like Sopher Ridge to the deep cut of Skylight Canyon. The map reveals a complex network of seasonal drainages including Howard Creek, Grossman Creek, and Fisher Creek, which ultimately feed toward the Wallowa Wild and Scenic River in the south. The distribution of family-named clearings such as Downards Meadow, Deerings Meadow, Eustis Meadow, and James Meadow suggests a legacy of high-altitude ranching or grazing common in the Blue Mountains. Near the eastern edge, the Lazy F Ranch Airport sits as a lonely outpost of modern infrastructure between the peaks of Howard Butte and Smith Mtn.
