2014 Map of Devine Ridge North

About this map

Malhuer National Forest encompasses the high-desert terrain of Harney County shown here in the mid-2010s. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition between creek drainages and high ridges, notably Devine Ridge and Trout Creek Ridge. Settlement is sparse, with the primary human footprint represented by Williams Field and a network of Forest Service roads including Devine Ridge Rd and the John Day-Burns Hwy. Numerous springs, such as Larsen Spring, Strawberry Spring, and Roach Creek Spring, serve as critical water points in this arid environment. The map details complex drainage patterns where Poison Cr and Marshall Cr carve through the plateau toward Devine Canyon, illustrating the importance of local topography to the region's management and access.
