1967 Map of Odell Butte

About this map

Odell Butte dominates the western landscape of this mid-century survey, a period when the timber-rich lands of the Deschutes National Forest were managed through an intricate network of rail and road. The Southern Pacific railroad cuts a diagonal path across the southwest, while the Klamath Northern serves the eastern reaches, meeting near the small settlement of Mowich. This area is characterized by volcanic features, most notably the stark lava flows surrounding Black Rock Butte and the industrial activity at the Cinder Pit near the northern boundary.
