About this map

Crane Prairie Reservoir dominates this high-country landscape in the Deschutes National Forest area, where the Deschutes River and Cultus River meet. The 2011 survey illustrates a region defined by seasonal recreation and forestry management, featuring several specialized outposts such as the Snow Creek Project Camp and Cultus Corral Horse Camp. These landings and resorts suggest a pattern of development focused on the water's edge, notably at Robideau Landing and Gales Landing.

Prominent volcanic features like Wuksi Butte, Shukash Butte, and Browns Mountain overlook the reservoir basin and the adjacent Crane Prairie. The drainage network is particularly dense here, with Deer Creek, Snow Creek, and Charlton Creek feeding into the reservoir system. This map captures the intricate network of forest service roads, including Keefer Rd and Brown Mtn Rd, that provide access to the various springs and small lakes like Comma Lake.
