2023 Map of Yellow Butte

About this map

Yellow Butte and the surrounding high ridges of Douglas County define this landscape along the Umpqua River corridor. This modern topographic survey illustrates a complex network of Bureau of Land Management routes, such as Brush Creek Rd and Prince Albert Rd, that provide access to timberlands and remote summits including Bell Mtn and Blue-Buck Mtn. The terrain is characterized by steep, parallel drainages like Brush Creek and Yellow Creek, separated by named features such as Broken Back Ridge and Dead Horse Ridge. Notable landmarks like Prince Albert and the open ground at Rice Flat contrast with the densely contoured elevations. The map provides a contemporary view of land management and natural topography in the Oregon Coast Range foothills just north of State Hwy 138 W.
