1997 Map of Robinson Butte

About this map

Robinson Butte Lookout 5884 stands as a prominent high point in this section of the Rogue River National Forest, overlooking a landscape defined by high-altitude meadows and managed forest lands. The 1990s terrain is marked by a network of ranching and early recreational infrastructure, including the Dahak Ranch and Bean Ranch, alongside the Dead Indian Soda Springs. The southern portion of the sheet is dominated by the reservoir waters of Howard Prairie Lake and the associated Howard Prairie County Recreation Area, highlighting the area's importance for water management and public access. Evidence of the region's hydro-engineering is clear in the South Fork Talent Irrigation Dist Canal and the Deadwood Tunnel. Smaller settlements and clearings like Deadwood and Lilyglen provide focal points for local history, showing the distribution of human activity amidst the drainages of Grizzly Creek and Dead Indian Creek.
