2020 Map of Scratch Post Butte
USGS Topo · Published 2020About this map
Scratch Post Butte rises as a prominent landmark in this high-desert region of Malheur County, where the landscape is defined by its water-management features and drainage systems. Strategic water storage is evident at Smith Reservoir and Wheaton Cr Reservoir, which capture runoff from the ephemeral Wheaton Cr and surrounding draws. This modern survey illustrates how topographic features like Circle Butte and Juniper Mtn organize the drainage patterns of several creeks, including Cow Cr, Blue Cr, and Deep Cr. The terrain is navigated via Bonita Rd, which provides the primary access through these townships. Local landmarks such as Kink Spring and Hay Canyon provide specific points of interest for those tracking family land use or historical grazing patterns in this sparsely settled corner of Oregon.
