2017 Map of Trout Creek Butte

About this map

Deschutes National Forest encompasses this high-altitude landscape in the eastern Cascade Range, where volcanic activity and water have shaped the terrain. Significant geological features include Millican Crater and the prominent Trout Creek Butte, which dominate the northern sections of the survey. The region is characterized by a complex network of waterways, with Whychus Cr and its various branches, such as N Fork Whychus Cr and S Fork Whychus Cr, carving through the timbered slopes. Notable hydrographic landmarks like Chush Falls and Upper Chush Falls are documented alongside seasonal wetlands like Trout Creek Swamp and the alpine Demaris Lake. In the southern reaches, Red Meadow and Park Meadow provide distinct clearings among the dense forest. Access is recorded through a system of forest roads and trails, including the Metolius-Windigo and the Trail #2 - Cross-District Trail.
