2014 Map of Trout Creek Butte

About this map

Deschutes National Forest encompasses this section of the High Cascades, where volcanic features and glacial drainages define the landscape. The northern portion is dominated by the prominent Trout Creek Butte and the distinct volcanic form of Millican Crater, while the southern reaches transition into the high-elevation wilderness of the Cascade Range. This 2014 survey documents a complex network of forest development roads, such as Pole Creek Rd, that provide access to the backcountry. Water is central to the area's geography, with the headwaters of Whychus Cr and its forks carving through the terrain. Notable hydrologic landmarks include the dramatic Chush Falls and Upper Chush Falls, along with isolated alpine features like Demaris Lake and the open flats of Red Meadow at the southern boundary.
