About this map

Ochoco National Forest dominates this high-elevation landscape in Harney County, centered on the prominent peak of Dry Mountain. The topography is defined by complex drainage systems where seasonal waters flow through Claw Cr and Wickiup Cr in the north, while Egypt Cr winds through the central eastern reaches. A network of Forest Service roads, including Howard Ridge Rd and Mc Canlies Rd, provides access to these timbered slopes and grazing lands.

Evidence of resource management and forest infrastructure is clear, notably the Dry Mountain Lookout Rd leading toward the summit and the Dry Mountain Reservoir situated in the eastern foothills. In the south, the terrain drops toward Dick Miller Canyon, accessible by the primitive Dick Miller Rd, illustrating the intersection of natural corridors and established backcountry routes used by locals for generations.
