About this map

Ashwood serves as the focal point for this Central Oregon survey, situated where Trout Creek and Ashwood Creek converge. The landscape is defined by high-elevation features like Blizzard Ridge and Sampson Mountain, with numerous springs feeding the drainage network of Clover Creek and Whetstone Creek. Evidence of local industry and infrastructure appears in the form of a Rock Crusher and a Landing Strip near Teller Flat, while the Woods Cem provides an important touchstone for genealogical research in the area.

The rugged terrain is dissected by deep cuts such as Devils Canyon Creek and Prineville Gulch, showcasing the volcanic and erosional history of the region. Water management is visible at the Little Willow Creek Reservoir in the southwest. Transport through these highlands is limited to the Ashwood Road and various unnamed tracks, reflecting a remote ranching and mining environment in the late 1960s.
