2014 Map of Duncan Reservoir

About this map

Fremont National Forest dominates this section of south-central Oregon, where the landscape is defined by the management of scarce water resources in a high-desert environment. The map reveals a network of man-made and natural water features essential for livestock and forestry, including the prominent Duncan Reservoir and smaller catchments like Winkle Flat Reservoir and Cottonwood Spring Reservoir. Distinctive local names such as O'Keefe Waterhole, Two Sheep Waterhole, and Dudley Waterhole point to the area's history of range management and the critical importance of these specific points for survival in the arid terrain.
