2023 Map of Partin Butte

About this map

Partin Butte and Round Butte dominate the landscape of Lake County in this modern 2023 survey, which details a high-elevation interior where water sources dictate the geography of the Fremont National Forest. The map traces a complex network of drainages including the West Fork Silver Creek and North Fork Silver Creek, which feed into the larger Silver Creek system. To the east, the terrain descends from the timbered heights of Alder Spring Ridge toward the open expanses of Thompson Valley and Indian Creek Flat. Land researchers will find specific points of interest such as Partin Spring and Alder Spring, reflecting the essential nature of reliable water in this part of Oregon. This detailed topographic study captures the contemporary boundaries and forest road networks that facilitate movement between the drainages of Bridge Creek and Coyote Creek.
