2014 Map of Sixteen Butte

About this map

Deschutes National Forest encompasses this high-elevation landscape on the border of Deschutes and Lake counties. The terrain is defined by a series of volcanic features, including Sixteen Butte, Wigtop Butte, and Horseshoe Butte. These peaks rise from a high plateau that transitions in the south toward the unique geological formations of The Devils Garden. A network of Forest Service roads, such as Natl Forest Develop Road 22 Rd and Natl Forest Develop Road 23 Rd, provides access through the timber and volcanic flats. The absence of permanent settlements and the concentration of named buttes like Poly Top Butte and Deadlog Butte reflect the remote, managed nature of this interior Oregon wilderness during the early 21st century.
