2023 Map of Scratch Post Butte

USGS Topo · Published 2023

About this map

High desert water management and remote livestock grazing routes define this Malheur County landscape. The map centers on the prominent volcanic forms of Circle Butte and Scratch Post Butte, overlooking a network of ephemeral drainage systems including Cow Creek and Lyman Creek. This modern survey reveals the infrastructure necessary for life in this arid region, most notably the Smith Reservoir and Wheaton Cr Reservoir, which capture runoff from the surrounding uplands. A rare named access point, Bonita Rd, snakes through the western portion of the quadrangle, serving as the primary corridor for movement between the higher elevations and the deep incisions of Hay Canyon. Small but critical water sources like Kink Spring remain vital landmarks for those navigating the eastern slopes above Log Creek and Birch Creek.
