2004 Map of Morgan Butte

Evidence of human occupancy and land use is sparse but specific, centered on locations like Whitehouse Place and river access points such as Jones Crossing and a downstream Ford. The terrain is characterized by high-altitude meadows and springs, including Myers Meadow and Antelope Springs, which historically supported seasonal livestock grazing. The inclusion of the Parker Hills and deep cuts like Cat Canyon illustrates the complex topography of the Oregon high country at the turn of the 21st century.
