2014 Map of Little Lookout Mountain

About this map

Little Lookout Mountain and Sheep Mtn anchor this high-elevation landscape in eastern Oregon, where a complex network of seasonal drainages and named springs defines the local topography. This 2014 survey documents the rugged cattle country and forest land north of Durkee, marked by historic access routes like Lookout Mountain Rd and Manning Creek Rd. The map detail reveals the importance of water sources in this arid environment, showing reliable points such as Buckley Spring, McCullough Spring, and Upper Nodine Spring. The drainage patterns are intricate, with Kuykendahl Gulch and Three Canyon carving through the volcanic terrain toward larger basins. This modern topographic record captures the area's transition from high summits down to the Upper Peavine Flat, providing a precise look at the land's character before any recent shifts in land use or environmental change.
