2014 Map of Lava Butte

About this map

Deschutes River Woods serves as a primary residential focal point on this volcanic landscape, where street names like Pumice Butte Rd, Cinder Butte Rd, and Crater Rd reflect the underlying geology of the High Desert. The prominent volcanic cinder cone of Lava Butte and the northwestern extent of the Newberry Volcano dominate the central terrain, bordered by the expansive reaches of the Deschutes National Forest. Development pushes southward from Bend along the Us-97 corridor, illustrating the transition from urban outskirts to protected forest lands. Traces of local infrastructure, such as Scale House Rd and Crawford RD, intersect with the natural features like Baker Lake, providing a clear record of how regional growth adapted to the unique basaltic topography of central Oregon in the early 21st century.
