About this map

Angell Butte and the surrounding high desert of Crook County are defined by a network of seasonal water sources and distinct geological formations. The landscape is characterized by prominent flat-topped features like Ryegrass Table and Shaw Table, which rise above the drainages of Grindstone Cr and Trout Cr. Cattle ranching and land management are evident through the numerous artificial water catchments such as Payton Reservoir Number 2, Gollum Reservoir, and Brennan Reservoir.

Remote roads including Paulina Suplee Rd and Price-Twelvemile Rd provide the primary access through this territory. Geographic landmarks like Dorschied Butte and Forbes Butte serve as essential navigational points. Farther south, the terrain drops off at the Grindstone Rim and Yreka Rim, overlooking the Trail Basin. This 2017 survey documents a high-plateau environment where every named spring, such as Coyote Spring and Wade Spring, represents a vital resource in an arid climate.
