2023 Map of Ward Butte

About this map

Ward Butte rises as a prominent landmark in this eastern Oregon landscape, where the boundary between Morrow Co and Umatilla Co bisects the terrain. The drainage of Butter Creek carves through the eastern portion of the quadrangle, creating a focal point for local transport and infrastructure. Nearby, the West Buttercreek Airport serves the surrounding ranching community, while the deep incision of Fourmile Canyon defines the central topography. The map reveals a network of rural access points including Madison Rd and Cochran Rd, alongside family-named landmarks like McCarty Ranch Ln and Mader Rust Ln. A historic connection to the region's pioneering past is visible in the presence of Wagon Trail Rd in the southwest, tracing an older route through the high desert landscape just west of the county line.
