1992 Map of Pilot Butte

About this map

Ochoco National Forest dominates the northern reaches of this landscape, where the Ochoco Mountains rise above the high desert floor. Central to the topography is Pilot Butte, a distinctive volcanic landmark accompanied by a radio tower, standing as a sentinel over the surrounding terrain. To the south, the Crooked River cuts through the basin, flanked by the Pineville Reservoir State Wildlife Area. This region is defined by its water management and grazing history, evidenced by numerous stock ponds and springs such as those at Dixie Meadows. The map also traces the winding paths of several drainages, including Wickiup Creek, Lucky Creek, and Conant Creek, which feed into the river system. Resource extraction and infrastructure are present through a quarry and substation, highlighting the land's utility in the late twentieth century.
