2020 Map of Sardine Butte

About this map

The North Fork Middle Fork Willamette Wild and Scenic River defines the southern portion of this landscape within the Willamette National Forest. This 2020 survey highlights the intricate drainage network of the Western Cascades, where the North Fork Middle Fork Willamette River is fed by numerous tributaries including Christy Cr, Cedar Cr, and Rooster Cr. Small, relatively level openings like Christy Flats and Major Prairie provide a contrast to the surrounding ridges and peaks. Higher elevations are marked by prominent landforms such as Sardine Butte, Ingram Butte, and Battle Peak. Along the river corridor, the N Fork Segment #4 trail follows the water near distinctive landmarks like Buffalo Rock and the steep terrain of Devils Canyon. The map records a modern state of federal forest management, showing a complex web of service roads accessing timberlands and remote hydrologic features like Salt Springs.
