1982 Map of Dry Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

Upper Valley dominates the northern reaches of this high-desert landscape within the Ochoco National Forest. The 1982 topography reveals a sophisticated network of water management features essential for ranching and forest operations, including the Big Ridge Reservoir, Dry Mountain Reservoir, and the uniquely named Trespass Reservoirs. Near the Upper Valley Ranch, the terrain transitions from the seasonal drainages of Silver Creek and Wickiup Creek to the prominent heights of Dry Mountain, which is capped by a Lookout Tower monitoring the timberlands. Cultural and land-use markers such as the Dick Miller track and the Seeding Waterhole indicate a landscape shaped by grazing and forestry, while the colorful naming of Hell Hole and Egypt Creek reflects the character of early Harney County surveying and lore.
