About this map

Round Mountain and Lookout Mountain anchor this landscape in the Deschutes National Forest region, characterized by a dense network of volcanic peaks and forestry service roads. The geography is dominated by numerous cinder cones and buttes, including Siah Butte, Lolah Butte, and Lumrum Butte, which reflect the area's volcanic heritage. Movement through the terrain is facilitated by Round Mountain Pass, a critical point for travelers navigating the elevation changes of the high desert backcountry.

Infrastructure is primarily geared toward resource management and recreation, with an extensive system of development roads such as Lookout Mountain Rd and W Lolah Butte Rd connecting the various peaks. The eastern edge of the quadrangle is marked by the Fall River, providing a distinct hydrological contrast to the surrounding high-elevation terrain. This 2011 survey serves as a detailed record of the forest access routes and geographic landmarks established by the U.S. Forest Service for fire management and public use.
