Explore Butte Falls, Oregon, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Butte Falls, Oregon. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Oregon or beyond.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).
TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Butte Falls.
Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

Butte Falls emerges from the dense, evergreen shadows where the South Fork Big Butte Creek carves its path through the rugged terrain. It lies 16.6 miles east-northeast of White City, OR (from White City, OR: bearing 64°T), and is situated 13.0 miles east-northeast of Eagle Point. The landscape surrounding Butte Falls remains defined by the persistent flow of the South Fork Big Butte Creek, which acts as a constant, rhythmic pulse beneath the canopy of the Rogue River National Forest. To the distant horizon, the jagged silhouettes of the Klamath Mountains anchor the skyline, while the immediate proximity to the open expanse of Beekman Flat offers a brief, quiet respite from the surrounding timbered ridges. As daylight wanes, the air turns crisp and carries the scent of damp earth and cooling stone, grounding the locality in a quiet intensity that feels detached from the sprawling commerce of the lowlands.
History remains etched into the very grain of the timber that once sustained the regional economy, marking Butte Falls as a place where the labor of the woodsman shaped the character of the settlement. While the industry has evolved, the connection to the wilderness endures, providing a gateway for those who seek the solitude of the Buck Point Trail or the stillness of the waters at Lost Creek Lake. Life in Butte Falls moves with an unforced cadence, observing the changing seasons as the protected reaches of the Big Butte Creek (incl South Fork Big Butte Creek) continue to sustain the local ecosystem. The inhabitants maintain a deliberate pace, working and living in the shadow of the peaks, where the legacy of the logging camps gives way to a modern, quiet stewardship of the land.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
