2017 Map of Oregon Butte

About this map

Umatilla National Forest occupies this high-elevation landscape in Columbia County, defined by a series of prominent ridges and deep canyon drainages. The area is anchored by the namesake Oregon Butte, where multiple water sources like Oregon Butte Spring and McBain Spring emerge near the crest. The topographic layout reveals an extensive network of footpaths established for forest management and fire lookout access, including the Mt Misery Trail and the Smooth Ridge Trail. To the south, the terrain descends toward Ant Flat and Rattlesnake Ridge, while the western boundary is marked by Box Canyon. Dozens of named springs, such as Retzkolowski Spring and Huckleberry Spring, suggest the critical importance of water location in this high-country environment for both wildlife and early US Forest Service operations.
