About this map

Teaters Ranch and the open reach of Horse Prairie anchor this high-desert landscape in Crook County, where water management defines the local geography. The area is characterized by a network of drainage systems and man-made impoundments, ranging from the large Lutsey Reservoir in the northwest to more descriptive features like the Hole-in-the-Ground Reservoir. Steep elevation changes are marked by distinct landforms such as Cabin Butte, Battle Point, and the ominous Funeral Ridge.

The North Fork Crooked River and Committee Creek carve through the terrain, creating complex canyon systems including Rough Canyon and Mud Spring Canyon. A network of Forest Service and ranching roads, such as Lutsey Point Rd and Rough Canyon Rd, provides access across Long Ridge to these remote cattle and water resources. The map documents a classic Oregon backcountry landscape where seasonal creeks and strategically placed reservoirs support the region's ranching heritage.
