2014 Map of Craft Point

About this map

Malhuer National Forest encompasses much of this high-elevation landscape in Harney County, characterized by a series of prominent peaks and vital water sources. The map highlights significant topographical landmarks such as Mountain Tom, Buck Butte, and Elephant Butte, which dominate the central and southern portions of the quadrangle. Cattle ranching and water management are evident through the naming of localized features like Dietrich Ranch Rd and several man-made catchments, including Miller Reservoir, Poer Reservoir, and Temple Reservoir. Numerous springs, such as Jordan Spring, Ralphs Spring, and Widow Spring, are scattered across the terrain, indicating the importance of these water points in a relatively arid environment. To the south, Craft Point and Thompson Mountain overlook Oard Flat, while the historical path of the Fort Harney N Rd traces the western edge, connecting this remote area to regional frontier history.
