2020 Map of Morgan Butte

About this map

Fremont National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape in Lake County, where the Chewaucan River winds through deep drainages and canyon lands. The terrain is marked by a series of prominent volcanic features and family-named landmarks, including Brattain Butte, McComb Butte, and the central Morgan Butte. This 2020 update provides a precise view of the modern forest management and recreation network, notably the Southern Oregon Intertie Trail as it traverses the ridges and saddles such as Avery Pass. Between the peaks, open areas like Coffeepot Flat and Myers Meadow offer distinct ecological breaks in the timbered slopes. The hydrology is dominated by numerous small water sources like Morgan Butte Spring and drainage systems including Schoolhouse Creek and King Creek, which have supported livestock and timber operations in this part of the Oregon high country for generations.
