About this map

Ochoco National Forest defines the high-elevation landscape of this 2014 survey, where the boundary between Wheeler and Crook County meets. The map provides a detailed view of the remote drainages feeding into the Crooked River watershed, including Jackson Creek and Toggle Cr. A significant historical landmark is found at Camp Watson Cem, situated near Camp Watson Point, reflecting the 19th-century military presence once established in this part of Oregon.

Modern forest management is evident through the extensive network of service roads such as Buck Point Rd and Nat For Dev Rd 4274, which contrast with older routes like the Old Military Rd. The terrain is punctuated by named water sources vital to the region's ranching and ecology, such as Barnhouse Spring and Blevins Spring. High-country clearings like Derr Meadows and Dicer Meadow provide breaks in the timbered slopes, marking traditional grazing or camp areas.
