1980 Map of Nadine Butte

About this map

Nadine Butte rises as a central landmark in this high-desert region where the borders of Nevada, Idaho, and Oregon meet. Mapped from aerial photography taken in the mid-1970s, the landscape is defined by the intersection of remote county boundaries, including the Malheur Co Humboldt Co line and an Indefinite Boundary further east. The terrain is characterized by broad alluvial features like Alkali Flat and Cathcart Flat, which are carved by seasonal watercourses such as Willow Creek and Calico Creek. A network of Jeep Trails provides the primary access through the steep topography, pointing to the region's historical reliance on rugged overland routes. Notable human infrastructure is sparse but specific, including a marked Aqueduct and a Cave located near the southern drainage of Raven Creek.
