2023 Map of Plot Butte

About this map

Deschutes National Forest encompasses much of this high desert terrain, characterized by a series of prominent volcanic peaks and sparse water sources. The landscape is defined by its buttes, including Mahogany Butte in the north and Watkins Butte to the south, which rise above the surrounding flats. Early reliance on the land's limited water is evident at Sand Spring and the Plot Butte Waterhole, essential markers in a region otherwise dominated by features like Dry Lake. The presence of the Ohv 148 Trl and Fox Butte Rd suggests a modern usage focused on recreation and forest management. This 2023 survey provides a clear look at the township and range lines, such as t22s r16e, which organize the remote territory between Antelope Butte and Ko Butte.
