2017 Map of Maupin Butte

About this map

Maupin Butte dominates this high-desert portion of Crook County, where the landscape is defined by elevated mesas and seasonal drainage channels. The 2017 survey reveals a remote topography centered on the volcanic formations of Milk Butte and Homestead Butte. Water sources are sparse but critical to the area's geography, represented by the winding Alkali Cr and the localized Maupin Spring. Large plateau features like Twelvemile Table and Ryegrass Table suggest a region utilized for grazing, while the inclusion of the Summit Reservoir indicates efforts to manage water in this arid environment. The map provides a clear view of the complex terrain of Payne Ridge and Odell Hollow, as well as the headwaters of Beaver Creek in the northwest.
