2023 Map of Yainax Butte

About this map

Yainax Butte dominates this section of the Fremont National Forest in southern Oregon, marking a landscape defined by volcanic landforms and upland water management. The terrain transitions from the high peak down to alluvial features like Coyote Flat and Round Prairie, where small catchments such as Mallory Reservoir and Sunset Prairie Reservoir support the arid environment. A network of springs, including Aleys Spring and McCarrie Spring, feeds into drainage systems like Rocky Canyon Creek. Local transit is centered on Keno Springs Road, which connects the various prairies and reservoirs across the quadrangle. This 2023 survey illustrates the modern forestry and ranching infrastructure, showing how seasonal water sources like Rena Reservoir and Bechtoldt Reservoir are utilized throughout the timbered highlands.
