2017 Map of Telephone Butte

About this map

Malheur National Forest encompasses this high-elevation stretch of the Blue Mountains, where the drainage networks of several major creek systems originate. The terrain is defined by prominent volcanic features such as Telephone Butte and King Mtn, which overlook a series of named alpine meadows including Haystack Meadow and Cabin Meadow. This 2017 survey details a landscape where water management is critical, evidenced by the numerous developed water sources like Cochran Spring and Black Rock Spring that sustain the area.
