2017 Map of Wood Butte

About this map

Wallowa National Forest land dominates this high-elevation landscape, where a series of prominent northwest-trending ridges define the local geography. Significant topographical features like Powwatka Ridge, Day Ridge, and McAlister Ridge dictate the flow of numerous drainages including Rattlesnake Cr, Buck Cr, and McAlister Cr. This 2017 survey details the complex network of forest roads such as Troy Rd and Kuhn Ridge Rd that provide access through the timbered terrain. The namesake Wood Butte sits near the center of the sheet, surrounded by isolated landmarks like the Waterhole and Washboard Ridge. This area illustrates a typical modern-era land management pattern where public forest lands are bisected by primary access routes and seasonal watercourses, supporting local timber and grazing interests.
