1982 Map of Sixteen Butte

About this map

Sixteen Butte rises as a central landmark within the Deschutes National Forest, marking a landscape defined by volcanic geology and high desert flora at the border of Deschutes and Lake counties. This 1982 survey illustrates a transition from the timbered heights of Wigtop Butte and Deadlog Butte to the stark expanses of lava fields in the south. A notable botanical landmark, Oregons Largest Juniper Tree, is specifically noted in the eastern section near Buck Butte, providing a rare point of interest for naturalists and historians.
