1988 Map of Trout Creek Butte

About this map

Deschutes National Forest encompasses this high-elevation landscape, where volcanic topography meets a complex network of glacial and spring-fed waterways. The northern portion is dominated by the volcanic peak of Trout Creek Butte and the distinct depression of Millican Crater, while the western edge is protected within the Three Sisters Wilderness. Hydrological features are central to the terrain, ranging from the high-altitude Demaris Lake to the significant wetlands of Trout Creek Swamp. The drainage patterns of Squaw Creek and its various forks illustrate the complex watershed of the eastern Cascades. Numerous isolated springs such as Pole Creek Spring and Spruce Spring, along with meadows like Twin Meadows and Red Meadow, highlight the essential water sources that have supported regional ecosystem and forest management activities in this part of Oregon.
