2020 Map of Lava Butte

About this map

Deschutes River Woods serves as a primary residential hub south of Bend in this 2020 landscape, where the high desert meets the volcanic slopes of the Deschutes National Forest. The map is dominated by a chain of volcanic features, including Bessie Butte, Huntington Butte, and the prominent Lava Butte Rim. This geological history is immortalized in the Trail of Molten Lands, which winds through the dark basaltic flows near the small settlements of Blackrock and Sun-Lava. While the northern section shows denser development with street names like Cheyenne Rd and Apache Rd, the southern reaches remain largely unpopulated, defined by the broader Newberry Volcano system and isolated peaks such as Luna Butte and Klawhop Butte.
