About this map

The Ochoco National Forest dominates the southern half of this landscape, where the terrain rises toward the heights of Foley Butte and the surrounding Ochoco Mountains. This high-country region is defined by a dense network of seasonal drainages and springs, including Rainbow Trough Spring and Eleven Spring in the north. The boundary between Jefferson and Crook counties cuts horizontally across the center of the sheet, marking a transition in land management and topography.

Surface water patterns show several creeks originating in the higher elevations, such as Higgins Creek and Allen Creek, which flow through deeply carved draws like Boiler Draw. Access to these remote reaches is provided by a system of forest roads, including SE Boardtree Rd and SE Coon Ridge Rd, which trace the ridgelines and creek beds. Distinctive landmarks like Sheep Rock and Awbrey Mtn serve as primary navigational points in this unpopulated stretch of the Oregon interior.
