About this map

Donnelly Butte and the surrounding high country of the Ochoco National Forest define this 2014 survey of Harney County. The landscape is characterized by a high concentration of named water sources such as Weburg Spring, Dustbox Spring, and Riverside Spring, which historically supported the region's livestock and wildlife. Open grasslands like Duffy Prairie and Boone Prairie break the timbered reaches, providing essential grazing ground near the headwaters of Wickiup Cr and Claw Cr.

Resource management and access are evident through a network of forest roads, including Dodson Creek Rd and Howard Ridge Rd. These routes traverse the complex topography of Salt Canyon and Mineral Canyon, following natural drainage patterns. The map provides a detailed view of the infrastructure utilized for forest maintenance and recreation, from the Nat For Dev Rd 4160 to the high points along Howard Ridge.
