About this map

Oregon Butte and its neighboring peaks dominate this 2011 survey of Columbia County's high country. This landscape is defined by its extensive network of water sources and elevated terrain, featuring a concentration of named springs such as Moolack Spring, Rettkowski Spring, and Hatfield Spring. These vital water points, along with the Teepee Campground, suggest a region primarily used for seasonal recreation and forest management.

The map reveals a series of prominent ridges and drainages that shaped local navigation, including Grizzly Bear Ridge, Patterson Ridge, and the steep descents into Box Canyon. Small creek systems like Panjab Creek and Butte Creek cut through the terrain, while landmarks such as Danger Point and West Butte serve as significant navigational anchors for those traversing this portion of the Pacific Northwest wilderness.
