2014 Map of Moonlight Butte

About this map

Moonlight Butte rises as a central landmark in this high-desert landscape of Lake County, where ephemeral water sources and remote tracks define the geography. The map reveals a cluster of seasonal basins, including Bull Lake, Chicago Pond, and Benjamin Lk, which indicate the importance of water management in this arid territory. This 2014 survey captures a network of primitive access routes such as Fredrick Butte road and Wardell, cutting through the vast desert flats. A significant geological or botanical interest is suggested by the presence of Lost Forest Ln in the southern portion of the quadrangle, while the land is organized by the Public Land Survey System grids of t24s r20e and t25s r20e. The eastern edge is defined by the topographic transition into Browns Valley, providing a detailed view of the drainage patterns and land contours of the Oregon interior.
