About this map

The Applegate River valley in the early 21st century remains defined by its complex irrigation network and varied terrain. Small agricultural and residential clusters like Provolt and Applegate are connected by the Williams Hwy and N Applegate Rd. The landscape is etched with historical water management systems, including the New Berryman Ditch and the Watts and Topping Ditch, reflecting a long-standing reliance on the river for local industry and farming.

Genealogists and local historians can find significant landmarks such as the Missouri Flat Cemetery near the drainage of Hog Eye Creek. The surrounding topography is marked by numerous named gulches like Whisky Gulch, Schoolhouse Gulch, and Myrtle Gulch, which suggest the area's prospecting or early settlement history. Elevated features such as Old Blue Mountain and Billy Mountain overlook the flats, while small impoundments like Cook Reservoir provide local water storage.
