2014 Map of Crescent

About this map

Gilchrist and Crescent sit at the center of this high-desert landscape in the early 21st century, defined by the logging history and natural boundaries of Central Oregon. The presence of the Gilchrist Log Pond and Gilchrist Reservoir points to the area's industrial legacy, while the Little Deschutes River and Crescent Cr wind through the terrain. The map shows the convergence of the Deschutes National Forest and Winema National Forest, highlighting a transition between protected woodlands and local grazing areas like Odell Pasture. Prominent geographical markers such as Crescent Butte and the elevation change at Walker Rim provide a clear view of the local topography. This survey details a comprehensive network of Forest Service roads, including Nat For Dev Rd 9775 and the Gilchrist Haul Rd, illustrating the modern infrastructure supporting timber and recreation.
