2014 Map of Pistol Butte

About this map

The Deschutes National Forest dominates this landscape in central Oregon, where volcanic features and river systems converge. Rising above the plateau, several distinct peaks including Pistol Butte, Klak Butte, and Sitkum Butte provide landmarks across the high-altitude terrain of the Cascade Range. To the south, the Deschutes River meanders through the forest, creating complex riparian zones such as The Dead Slough. The convergence of the Fall River and its Fall River Falls into the larger river system highlights the area's hydrology. Human presence is marked by a network of forest roads like Klak Butte Rd and W River Rd, while the southern edge shows the transitioning landscape near Lapine State Park, where residential planning meets the wilderness boundary.
