2011 Map of Riverbed Butte

About this map

Sycan Flat dominates this high-plateau landscape of south-central Oregon, where the headwaters of the Sycan River and Shake Creek carve a complex drainage network across the terrain. The 2011 survey reveals an environment defined by its water sources, including the isolated Klipple Lake and several named water points like Packsaddle Spring and Small Spring. Rising above the surrounding drainage basins, Riverbed Butte serves as a prominent landmark in a region primarily accessed by forest service roads such as Yellow Pine Rd and smaller tracks like Maple Way. The layout of these routes, along with the paths of Merritt Creek and Fivemile Creek, illustrates a landscape managed for natural resources and conservation at the start of the twenty-first century.
