2017 Map of Sugarloaf Butte

About this map

Sugarloaf Butte and Houston Butte rise as prominent landmarks in this high-desert portion of Crook County, where the volcanic geology of Central Oregon is clearly defined by distinct rimrocks and drainage patterns. The landscape is carved by a network of seasonal watercourses, most notably Bear Cr, which is followed by the primary transit route of Bear Creek Rd as it moves through the heart of the quadrangle. High-elevation features like Million Hill and the long stretch of Rodman Rim overlook deep cuts in the terrain such as Juniper Canyon and Norman Canyon. This survey captures the sparse infrastructure of the region, defined by remote ranch roads and the Public Land Survey System boundaries of t18s r18e and t19s r18e, illustrating a territory where topography dictates the few avenues of human movement.
