2017 Map of Rail Creek Butte

About this map

Rail Creek Butte rises as a central landmark within this portion of the Malheur National Forest, where a network of forest development roads provides access to the high-country drainages of eastern Oregon. The landscape is defined by its water sources, from the higher elevations of Gibb Spring and Officer Springs to the wider expanses of Crooked Creek Meadows and Myrtle Park Meadows. These meadows and flats, including the nearby Mud Flat, suggest a history of seasonal grazing and forest management common to the Blue Mountains.
