1980 Map of Squaw Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Squaw Butte Range Experiment Station occupies a significant portion of this high-desert landscape in Harney County, illustrating the intersection of federal scientific research and public rangeland management. The terrain is defined by the volcanic prominence of Squaw Butte and the expansive Juniper Ridge to the north, overlooking a complex of seasonal playas and water sources. Scattered across the basin are numerous small lakes and catchments, including China Lake, Papoose Lake, and the Lone Tree Reservoir, which serve as vital watering points in an otherwise arid environment. The presence of a network of Jeep Trails and survey markers like West Base and East Base highlights the remote nature of the area, while Big Stick Creek and Yellowstone Lake mark the drainage patterns that define the local topography. This survey captures the region as a dedicated center for agricultural and ecological study during the late twentieth century.
