2011 Map of Liggett Table

About this map

Liggett Table and Twelvemile Table dominate this portion of the Crook County landscape, where the high plateau topography is defined by significant volcanic and geological formations. The hydrological network centers on the Crooked River and its prominent South Fork Crooked River, which carve through the high desert terrain. The area is marked by distinctive elevation landmarks such as North Sulphur Butte, Sulphur Butte, and Watson Butte, reflecting the complex volcanic history of central Oregon. This survey illustrates the sparse settlement patterns typical of the region, where land use is dictated by the dramatic breaks of the Hawk Rim and the winding paths of Kelly Creek and Beaver Creek. The presence of Fossil Ridge suggests the paleontological significance inherent in the local strata, preserved in this 2011 record of the rural interior.
