2023 Map of Strawberry Butte

About this map

Fremont National Forest defines the character of this high-elevation landscape in Lake County, where water management and timberland dominate the geography. Several critical catchment areas, including South Arm Reservoir, Albertson Reservoir, and Strawberry Reservoir, highlight the importance of water storage in this arid region of Oregon. The terrain is marked by prominent volcanic and tectonic features, from the heights of Strawberry Butte and Center Peak to the depression known as The Potholes. Local history is embedded in the names of the landscape, such as Yocum Valley and Barnes Rim, suggesting early ranching and land use patterns. A network of Forest Service infrastructure, including Dent Creek and Dog Lake roads, provides access to remote landmarks like Brushy Mtn and Harp Mtn, while numerous water sources like Willow Camp Spring and Sage Spring indicate a terrain shaped by its hydrology.
