2014 Map of Dutchman Creek

About this map

Ochoco National Forest land dominates this high-elevation terrain where Jefferson and Crook counties meet. The landscape is defined by its abundant natural water sources, including Ochillee Spring, Dutchman Spring, and Aldrich Spring, which provide critical water in the volcanic uplands. These springs are often the primary landmarks in an area characterized by significant topographic features like Cat Mtn and Boxcar Flats. The presence of several named gaps and basins, such as Poison Hollow and McKay Saddle, indicates a historical reliance on these natural corridors for movement through the Ochoco Mountains. Navigation through the forest is facilitated by a network of forest roads, including Summit Rd and SE Dutchman Creek Rd, reflecting the modern management of these timberlands and grazing allotments.
