About this map

Hensley Butte stands as a prominent landmark in this high-altitude landscape where the Jefferson Co and Crook Co line bisects the northern terrain. The area is dominated by the Ochoco National Forest and the Ochoco Mountains, characterized by a complex network of drainages and seasonal water sources. Numerous creeks, including McKay Cr, Kulman Cr, and Lofton Cr, carve through the topography, feeding into deeper basins such as Rail Hollow.

Geographic features like Little Table Mtn, Big Table, and Cougar Rock highlight the varied volcanic and erosional history of the region. Local access is defined by specialized routes such as McKay Creek Rd and SE Turner Creek Rd, which provide passage through notable landforms like Sawtell Canyon and Lincoln Canyon. The placement of Bottleneck Spring underscores the importance of reliable water points in this arid upland environment.
