2014 Map of Saddle Butte

About this map

Saddle Butte rises as the central volcanic landmark of this high-desert landscape in Malheur County. The map details the expansive Saddle Butte Lava Field, illustrating the geological footprint of past volcanic activity across the high plateau. The topography is defined by the prominent Saddle Butte Spur, which stretches northwest from the main peak. This 2014 survey documents a land of intermittent drainage, where Ryegrass Cr and Bull Cr provide the primary hydrologic features in an otherwise arid environment. The map is largely dominated by public land divisions, showing the precise survey lines of T28S, T29S, and T30S R39E, reflecting the organized management of the Oregon interior.
