2011 Map of Tanner Butte

About this map

Tanner Butte and the surrounding high peaks of the Cascade Range dominate this 2011 survey, where the landscape is defined by its dramatic verticality and drainage systems. Flowing through the northern boundary, the Columbia River creates the Hamilton Island Reach near Ives Island. The map is particularly notable for its concentration of named waterfalls, including Wahclella Falls, Elowah Falls, and Punch Bowl Falls, which highlight the steep descent of tributaries toward the river. To the south, the headwaters of the Bull Run River and its feeder, Falls Creek, underscore the area's role as a vital watershed. Access through this terrain is limited to specialized routes like Talapus Ridge Rd and the Moffatt Way Trl, reflecting the primitive state of the interior topography between Eagle Butte and Table Mountain.
