About this map

Owens Butte serves as the central landmark for this high-elevation drainage network in Umatilla County, where numerous creek systems converge. The terrain is defined by the headwaters and winding paths of Owens Creek and Lane Creek to the north, while the southern portion of the quadrangle is dominated by the broader valley of Camas Creek. This landscape demonstrates a transition from upland drainages to the more structured transportation corridors that follow the natural watercourses.

Local access is provided by a network of county roads and ranch routes, including Dixie Ranch Rd and Mossie Rd, which connect the remote parcels of this region. The map tracks the progress of several smaller tributaries like Hidaway Creek, Mud Creek, and Cable Creek as they descend from the higher elevations. These features illustrate the essential relationship between the area's hydrology and the placement of historic ranching infrastructure such as Hidaway Springs Rd.
