This is a project area map for the Texas Butte Project prepared by the U.S. Forest Service Heppner Ranger District on February 4, 2026. The map depicts a forest management project area located in northeastern Oregon within township and range designations T05S R26E through T06S R28E, encompassing portions of the Umatilla National Forest. The project area is delineated by a magenta boundary and includes multiple habitat and land management zones color-coded for specific purposes: Dedicated Old Growth Forest Habitat (tan), Managed Old Growth Forest Habitat (light purple), Riparian and Wildlife Habitat (dark blue), Timber and Big Game Wildlife Habitat (light green), and general Wildlife Habitat (lavender). The map shows watershed boundaries (HUC10) marked with dotted lines and identifies two key infrastructure points: Madison Butte Lookout and Tupper Guard Station.

The Texas Butte Project Area encompasses approximately 2 miles in width and encompasses multiple creeks including Rhea Creek, Upper Rock Creek, Wall Creek, and Potamus Creek-North Fork John Day River. The map is presented at a scale of 1:75,471 and indicates the 21 Road running through the project area. The geographic coordinates and PLSS (Public Land Survey System) grid are displayed to provide precise location reference for this forest management initiative. The map was prepared by R. Occhiuto and is available from the specified Forest Service file directory path for project documentation and planning purposes.
