1983 Map of Gerry Mtn

About this map

Gerry Mountain and Sheep Mountain anchor this high-desert landscape in central Oregon, where water management is the primary driver of human activity. The presence of numerous engineered water features like Mule Point Reservoir, Half Way Reservoir, and South Clover Reservoir No 1 suggests a cattle ranching economy dependent on captured seasonal runoff. The isolated Weaver Ranch stands as a primary point of habitation, connected to the wider world by primitive tracks like Pole. Resource extraction is evident through scattered industrial sites including a Rock Quarry and several Open Pit Mines. This 1983 edition captures the land just as it was being managed for grazing and mining, before modern technological shifts altered traditional western range operations. Named springs such as Spanish Spring and Jogi Spring offer clues to the early migration and settlement patterns through these arid Crook County uplands.
