2023 Map of West Butte

About this map

Bear Creek Buttes and West Butte dominate this high-desert landscape along the boundary of Crook and Deschutes counties. The area is defined by its arid hydrology, where essential water sources are marked by specific points like Daly Spring, Odell Spring, and Tub Spring. Human infrastructure in this environment is centered on water management and transit, evidenced by the Hirsch Reservoir and Daly Reservoir. A complex network of trails, including the North Millican Tr 24 Trl and North Millican Tr 45 Trl, weaves through the terrain, connecting with W Butte Rd. The presence of the Dry River in the southern portion of the quadrangle suggests the intermittent drainage patterns typical of Central Oregon, while Sage Hollow provides a distinct geographical corridor to the east.
