2020 Map of Indian Butte

About this map

Deschutes National Forest encompasses this volcanic landscape along the border of Deschutes and Lake counties. The terrain is defined by the massive footprint of the Newberry Volcano, characterized by a series of prominent cinder cones and topographic rises. Among these are Indian Butte, Amota Butte, and the distinct Crater Buttes. The distribution of these features reveals the underlying geomorphology of the region, where numerous individual peaks like Youtikut Butte and Red Butte punctuate the high-elevation woods. A network of forest roads and trails provides access to these landmarks, which include Dogleg Butte in the north and the elongated Sugar Pine Ridge to the southeast. The mapping reflects modern land management boundaries, tracing the township and range lines across this geologically active corner of Oregon.
