2014 Map of Little Summit Prairie

About this map

Ochoco National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape in Central Oregon, dominated by the sweeping expanse of Little Summit Prairie. This 2014 survey reveals a complex network of forest development roads, such as Arvid Nelson Rd and Roba Butte Rd, which facilitate access to remote water sources and peaks like Paulina Butte and Roba Butte. The terrain is characterized by numerous springs and small reservoirs, including Morgan Reservoir and Camp Reservoir, reflecting the area's importance for water management and livestock in a semi-arid timber environment. Local landmarks such as Round Meadow and Hewe Log Hollow provide specific points of interest for those tracing the history of land use and forestry in Crook County. The drainage patterns of Little Summit Creek and its tributaries, including Thornton Creek, illustrate the natural irrigation of these upland meadows.
