2014 Map of Jordan Craters South

About this map

Jordan Craters dominates this high-desert landscape in southeastern Oregon, revealing a terrain defined by volcanic activity and sparse water management. The geomorphology is punctuated by prominent rises such as Clarks Butte, Biscuit Butte, and Lava Butte, which break the horizontal expanse of the Malheur County plateau. These volcanic features are surrounded by a series of small, vital water catchments, including Lava Reservoir and Saddle Butte Reservoir 2, indicating the historical importance of water storage in this arid environment. The presence of Crater Lake nestled among the peaks highlights the specific geological formations of the volcanic field. Access is maintained through limited transit corridors like Biscuit Butte Rd and Dry Lake Reservoir Rd, which connect these remote topographical landmarks and reservoirs across the township boundaries.
