About this map

Ochoco National Forest defines this high-country landscape along the Wheeler and Crook County line. The map highlights a remote area of central Oregon dominated by name-bearing springs and high meadows, including Derr Meadows, Toggle Meadows, and Dicer Meadow. Water sources are vital features here, ranging from the Collins Reservoir in the north to numerous family-named points like Chamberlin Spring, Blevins Spring, and Younger Spring.

A notable landmark for local historians is the Camp Watson Cem, situated near Camp Watson Point. This cemetery serves as a physical reminder of the region's early frontier history and the military camp that once occupied this vicinity. The terrain is deeply dissected by drainages such as Haypress Cr, Double Corral Cr, and Happy Camp Cr, which flow between prominent heights like Buck Point and the rim of Pine Hollow.
