2014 Map of Ketchum Reservoir

About this map

Mount Hood National Forest anchors the southwestern portion of this landscape along the boundary between Hood River and Wasco counties. The area is defined by a dense network of drainages and springs feeding into the larger canyon systems, including Ketchum Reservoir and the Sky Ranch Reservoir Number Three complex. Historical land use is suggested by features like Old Schoolhouse Spring and the presence of several established ranch roads such as Ketchum Ranch Rd and Johns Mill Rd. The terrain is characterized by prominent ridges and plateaus, from the elevated Mill Creek Ridge and Sheldon Ridge to the broad expanse of Pine Flat. These features, combined with named landmarks like Woods Backbone and Woods Backbone, illustrate a complex topography of deep canyons and high divides where early mountain roads like Ladore and Ketchum Rd follow the natural contours of the high country.
