2011 Map of Lone Grave Butte

About this map

Lone Grave Butte stands as a prominent landmark in this high desert region of Lake County, overseeing a landscape defined by seasonal water sources and expansive basins. The topographic detail captures the floor of the Guano Valley, where the intermittent drainage of Guano Slough carves a path through the arid terrain. The map illustrates a network of remote routes, including Beatys Butte Rd and Lone Grave Rd, which served the ranching and resource needs of this isolated corner of Oregon. Crucial water points for livestock and travelers are documented, most notably the Lone Grave Waterhole near the base of the butte. High-elevation transit points such as Buckaroo Pass provide further evidence of how the geography dictated movement across the sagebrush and scrubland at the start of the 21st century.
