About this map

Caleb Cem and the small settlement at Frog Hollow are central landmarks in this high-desert landscape of central Oregon. The terrain is defined by a complex drainage system, where the waters of Mountain Cr and Willow Cr are managed through numerous small impoundments such as Fopiano Reservoir and Blann Meadow Reservoir. These water sources support a legacy of ranching and early industry, evidenced by Spoos Mill in the southwestern quadrant.

The map reveals a high-elevation environment of meadows and flats, including Bearway Meadow and Waterman Flat, which sit under the shadow of Juniper Butte. Transportation across this remote Wheeler County area relies on a network of backroads like Waterman Rd and Richmond Rd, tracing the natural contours of the draws and hollows. This 2017 survey documents the modern state of historical land divisions, from Collins Reservoir to the deep recesses of Rhine Hollow.
