2017 Map of Lone Grave Butte

About this map

Lone Grave Butte and the broad expanse of Guano Valley characterize this high-desert landscape in Lake County. The terrain is marked by traditional cattle-country landmarks, suggesting a long history of ranching and movement through the Great Basin. Drainage patterns are defined by the intermittent Guano Slough and the carved depths of Guano Canyon, which drop away from the surrounding plateaus. Connectivity in this isolated region relies on the north-south artery of Beatys Butte Rd, which provides access to essential resources like the Lone Grave Waterhole. Near the eastern boundary, Buckaroo Pass and West Road Gulch indicate established routes through the rimrock, likely utilized by generations of buckaroos and early settlers navigating this part of Oregon.
