1967 Map of Sugarloaf Butte

About this map

Sugarloaf Butte and the dramatic escarpment of Rodman Rim define this high-desert landscape in Crook County during the late 1960s. The terrain is deeply incised by drainages like Bear Creek, Ant Creek, and the parallel cuts of Juniper Canyon and Norman Canyon. This quadrangle illustrates a landscape primarily shaped by natural topography and water access, with several Springs and Wells serving as vital nodes in an otherwise arid environment. Human activity is evidenced by a network of Jeep Trails and occasional infrastructure such as a Drill Hole in the southern sector. The map provides a clear look at the area's prominent volcanic landforms, including Houston Butte and South Fork Hill, before modern development or intensive land use altered the character of this part of Central Oregon.
