About this map

Ochoco National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape in Harney County, characterized by a sophisticated system of water management and varied terrain. The northern boundary is marked by Corral Ridge, giving way to a network of drainages including Sawmill Creek, Silver Creek, and Delintment Creek. The map reveals the historical importance of water resources for the area's land use, featuring several named reservoirs such as Sawmill No 1 Reservoir, Sawmill No 2 Reservoir, and Twin Spring Reservoir.

Evidence of early industrial or agricultural infrastructure is visible through features like the Quarry and numerous named springs, including Hollenbeck Spr, Gilchrist Spring, and Pick Spring. High points such as Howard Point and the flat expanse of Chapin Table provide a clear view of the topographical transitions within the forest. This 1990 provisional survey serves as a record of the remote resource-based landscape before modern digital updates.
