1992 Map of Bulger Ridge

About this map

Ochogo National Forest dominates the high desert landscape of this 1990s revision, where the Snow Mountain Ranger District meets the open rangelands of Harney and Crook counties. The map details a sophisticated network of upland water management, essential for ranching and forest operations, featuring numerous named catchments such as Spencer Reservoir, Pats Reservoir, and the Swamp Creek Reservoir. Evidence of early and contemporary land use is visible at the Juniper Hill Ranch, positioned near the western edge of the prominent Bulger Ridge. The terrain transitions from the high peaks of Buck Mountain down to the broad expanse of Ryegrass Flat and Mud Flat. This survey captures the region's character as a working forest and livestock range, defined by isolated springs like Bulger Spring and seasonal water sources such as Spencers Waterhole and North Sheep Lake.
