2011 Map of Bulger Ridge

About this map

Bulger Ridge dominates this high-desert landscape in Crook County, where a network of ephemeral watercourses and remote access roads defines the local geography. The map captures a high-plateau environment marked by significant drainage systems, including the southeast-flowing Chickahominy Creek and the canyon-carving waters of Ryegrass Creek. Of particular interest to local historians is Gibbons Mill Canyon, a named landmark that points to the area's historical land use and early industry. Primitive travel routes such as Buck Creek Rd and Mc Canlies Rd wind through the terrain, tracing the paths used for ranching and resource access. The concentration of named creeks like Morris Creek and Nicoll Creek in the northeast corner highlights the complex hydrology of this part of the Oregon interior during the early 21st century.
