1961 Map of Delintment Lake

About this map

Ochoco National Forest and Malheur National Forest dominate this high-altitude landscape where Crook, Grant, and Harney counties converge. The 1961 field check documents a wilderness managed for both recreation and fire watch, centered on the Delintment Lake recreation area and its associated campgrounds and Youth Camp. Strategic outposts like Allison Guard Sta, Dobson Guard Sta, and Buck Spring Guard Sta appear alongside a network of lookouts and jeep trails. The terrain is marked by numerous peaks, including Snow Mtn and Big Mowich Mtn, while the water resources are defined by a high density of named springs such as Warm Sprs and Allison Spr. Temporary seasonal sites like Donnelly Camp and Cow Camp highlight the area's history of livestock grazing and timber management.
