2020 Map of Red Butte

About this map

Umpqua National Forest dominates this section of the Oregon Cascades, defined by a complex network of ridges and watercourses. The landscape rises to prominent peaks including Red Butte and Sampson Butte, with Negro Ridge stretching across the eastern portion of the survey. Below these heights, the Little River and its numerous tributaries like Cavitt Cr and Wolf Cr carve through the terrain. Evidence of the area's recreational and forest management history is found in the dense network of forest roads and trails, such as the Wolf Creek Falls Trl and the Red Butte Tie. These paths lead to distinctive points of interest including Wolf Creek Falls and Shadow Falls, as well as high-altitude features like Sugar Pine Flat and Cavitt Lake. The map details the intersection of early 21st-century timber management roads and established natural landmarks.
