About this map

Dry Mtn dominates this portion of the Ochoco National Forest in Harney County, serving as a primary topographical anchor for the surrounding high-elevation drainage systems. The landscape is defined by its seasonal water flow and high-country valleys, notably the Upper Valley in the northwest. Several significant canyons, including Mitch Canyon and Dick Miller Canyon, cut through the terrain, illustrating the complex erosional patterns that feed into Silver Creek and Wickiup Creek.

Logistics across this territory rely on a network of ridge-running and canyon-floor routes such as Howard Ridge Rd and Mc Canlies Rd. The inclusion of the Dry Mountain Reservoir and smaller tributaries like Egypt Creek highlights the critical role of water management and natural catchment in this interior forest environment. This survey captures a modern look at the public land boundaries and forest service access points as they exist today.
