2017 Map of Volcano Butte

About this map

Volcano Butte rises as a prominent landmark in this section of Meagher County, situated within the expansive Lewis & Clark National Forest. The landscape is defined by the headwaters and drainage networks of the N Fork Smith River and the N Fork Eightmile Cr, which carve through the high terrain. In the northern reaches, Higgins Park provides a notable clearing amidst the timbered slopes, while Lake Sutherlin sits in the southwestern portion of the quadrangle. Transportation through this remote mountain geography is facilitated by a network of forest and county roads, including CO Hwy 830 and the Jamison Trl. The map details a complex system of seasonal and perennial streams like Moss Cr, Geis Cr, and Copper Cr, illustrating the vital water resources that sustain this forest environment.
