About this map

Little Deschutes Wild and Scenic River meanders through the heart of this high-elevation landscape, defining a corridor of protected wilderness within the Deschutes National Forest and Winema National Forest. The terrain is punctuated by prominent volcanic landforms, notably Muttonchop Butte and the rising slopes of Little Walker Mtn.

A complex network of specialized transit routes crisscrosses the forest, including numerous numbered off-highway vehicle paths like Three Trails Ohv #44 and dedicated winter trails such as Beals Loop (Snow) and Chemult Run (Snow). Small tributaries including Hemlock Cr feed into the Little Deschutes River, while to the south, Corral Spring provides a critical water source in an otherwise well-drained volcanic landscape. The presence of local names like Bunny Butte Rd and Cruikshank Dr indicates the interface between forest management and local access.
