2011 Map of Oregon Butte

About this map

Oregon Butte stands as a prominent landmark in this corner of Malheur County, marking a high point in a landscape defined by an intricate network of drainage systems. The West Little Owyhee River cuts through the northwest, while several seasonal watercourses including Toppin Creek and Deer Creek shape the surrounding terrain. This remote high-desert area is punctuated by the Twin Buttes and relies on isolated water sources like the Oregon Butte Spring. Human presence is minimal, etched into the land by simple unpaved routes such as Airplane Reservoir Rd and Tent Creek Rd, which follow the natural contours of the basin. The map reveals a land structured by its water sources, with Tent Creek and its associated road providing one of the few navigational corridors through this sparsely populated territory.
