2020 Map of Dutchman Creek

About this map

The Ochoco National Forest dominates this section of the Ochoco Mountains along the boundary of Jefferson and Crook counties. This high-altitude landscape is defined by its complex network of seasonal drainages and springs, including Dutchman Cr and Little McKay Cr, which carve through the plateau. Landmarks such as Highland Flat and Boxcar Flats offer relatively level ground amidst more prominent features like Cat Mtn and McKay Saddle. For those interested in the hydrology of the High Desert, the map identifies numerous specific water sources like Schillee Spring, Curtis Spring, and Dutchman Spring. The presence of several forest roads, such as SE Trout Creek Rd and SE Martin Creek Rd, indicates the ongoing importance of this area for timber management and land access in the early twenty-first century.
