2020 Map of Hound Creek Reservoir

About this map

Adel serves as a lone community hub in this high-altitude landscape of Cascade County. The area is defined by its complex drainage systems and significant elevation changes, where the waters of W Fork Hound Cr and E Fork Hound Cr eventually converge. The topographical relief is punctuated by landmarks such as Adel Mtn and Black Mtn, alongside the striking formation known as The Pinnacles. Local water management is evident through the presence of Spring Cr Reservoir and Hound Creek Reservoir, which capture runoff from Spring Cr and Turell Cr. These water bodies and the surrounding Wosinek Flats suggest a landscape primarily utilized for ranching and resource management, where the rugged coulees and creek forks dictate the movement of people and livestock.
