About this map

Oregon Butte and its vital Oregon Butte Lookout command the high ground of the Wenha-Tucannon Wilderness in this mid-1990s survey of the Blue Mountains. The landscape is defined by a series of prominent divides, including French Ridge, Dickinson Ridge, and the Mount Misery Ridge, which separate the deep incisions of Panjab Creek and the Butte Creek drainage.

Remote springs such as Huckleberry Spring, Moolack Spring, and Hatfield Spring are critical water points for travelers within the Umatilla National Forest. The network of names provides a look at local landmarks like Danger Point and Ant Flat, alongside the dramatic topography of Box Canyon. This survey reflects a preserved wilderness state, where human infrastructure is limited to fire lookouts and trails winding through the Grizzly Bear Ridge and Smooth Ridge.
