2017 Map of Logan Butte

About this map

Logan Butte and Smoky Butte dominate this section of the high desert in Crook County, where the landscape is defined by the ephemeral drainages and vital water management infrastructure of central Oregon. The presence of Barnes Cem near the junction of SE Camp Creek Rd and W Fork Camp Cr provides a point of genealogical interest in an area otherwise characterized by livestock grazing and vast open range. The drainage systems of Parrish Cr, Indian Cr, and the Middle Fork Camp Cr feed several essential holding sites, including Ammons Reservoir, Bench Reservoir, and the Logan Butte Reservoir. This network of roads, including Van Lake Rd and Camp Creek Rd, traces the ancient paths between these water sources and the surrounding ridges like Yank Gulch.
