2011 Map of Partin Butte

About this map

Partin Butte and Round Butte dominate this high-desert landscape in Lake County, where a complex network of seasonal and perennial drainages shapes the terrain. The hydrological pattern is particularly intricate, defined by the West Fork Silver Creek, North Fork Silver Creek, and Guyer Creek flowing through the volcanic uplands. These water sources have long dictated human presence in the area, evident in the placement of Elder Cabin near Partin Spring and the named water resources like Alder Spring. This 2011 survey captures a landscape primarily used for forestry and recreation, as indicated by the presence of Antler Trailhead and the Nfd 3142 Rd. The map also details specific geological and topographical transitions, such as Alder Spring Ridge and the expansive Indian Creek Flat, illustrating the diverse geography of the Oregon high country.
