About this map

Ochogo National Forest dominates the northern landscape of this Harney County region, where the high desert meets timbered ridges. The 1980s terrain is defined by a critical network of water sources essential for high-country ranching and survival, including Camp Currey Spring, Rattlesnake Spring, and No Flo Spring. Evidence of human land use is sparse but distinct, centered on the Mayo Ranch and a series of livestock-related improvements such as Dry Mtn Res No 2 and various scattered borrow pits.

Water management is the primary theme across these flats, seen in the drainage of Chickahominy Creek and the broad expanse of Ryegrass Flat. Geographical landmarks like Nicoll Butte and Rimrock Hill provide navigational anchors in an area characterized by wide valleys and plateaus like Chapin Table. This survey captures the transition from the protected forest boundary into the open Silver Creek Valley, illustrating the remote ranching infrastructure of late 20th-century Eastern Oregon.
