About this map

Location Butte and the surrounding high desert of Klamath County are meticulously documented in this 2011 survey. The landscape is defined by a network of drainage features and draws, including Sagebrush Draw and Bear Flat Draw, which cut through the level terrain of Sagebrush Flat. Water management in this arid environment is evident through several named sources like Cliff Spring Reservoir, Bull Jack Spring, and Dicks Camp Spring.

A curious landmark known as The Rhubarb Patch sits in the northwest, suggesting a specific local history or botanical character distinct from the surrounding desert. The meandering course of Rock Creek serves as a primary geographical anchor, winding through the southern and western portions of the quadrangle. This map provides a clear look at the forest service road networks and topographic transitions that characterize this portion of the Oregon backcountry before recent landscape shifts.
