2020 Map of Ward Butte

About this map

Ward Butte rises above the eastern high desert of Oregon, marking a landscape defined by deep canyons and seasonal drainage systems. The Morrow and Umatilla County line bisects this 2020 survey, which documents the remote ranching and aviation infrastructure of the region. The map tracks the winding course of Butter Cr as it flows north, parallel to the Hwy 207 corridor. Aviation history and modern transport are represented by the West Buttercreek Airport, situated near the intersection of several rural routes. Local land use is further illustrated by family-named landmarks and access ways like McCarty Ranch Ln and Mader Rust Ln. The presence of the Wagon Trail Rd in the southwest corner suggests the persistent influence of historical movement patterns through Fourmile Canyon and across the ridgelines.
