1963 Map of Wanoga Butte

About this map

Volcanic topography dominates this section of the Deschutes National Forest, where a high-elevation landscape is defined by numerous cinder cones and buttes. The Wanoga Butte Lookout Tower stands as a central landmark, overlooking a network of landforms including Kapka Butte, Katalo Butte, and Kiwa Butte. This area, mapped in 1963 and revised in 1981, reflects the region's geological history and its management for both resource extraction and recreation. Notable industrial and natural features such as a Quarry and multiple Cinder Pits appear alongside the Edison Ice Cave, highlighting the unique subterranean lava structures of the Cascades.
