2020 Map of Mustang Butte

About this map

Mustang Butte dominates the southern reaches of this landscape in Malheur County, standing as a prominent landmark over a region defined by arid basins and seasonal water sources. The terrain transitions from the elevated heights of the butte into the expansive Barren Valley and the dry expanse of the Piute Lake Bed. Evidence of water management and natural springs is present through features such as Cook Reservoir and Piute Spring, which feed into the intermittent course of Piute Cr. This high desert environment is navigated by the Crowley-Riverside Rd, which provides the primary transit route through these remote townships. The survey illustrates a sparsely populated territory where topographic features and critical water points dictate the movement and utility of the land.
