About this map

Ochoco National Forest dominates this landscape in the Ochoco Mountains, where the high-altitude terrain is defined by a series of prominent peaks and expansive prairies. Resource extraction and recreation define the local geography, notably at the Independent Mine and Mother Lode Mine located on the western slopes of Lookout Mountain. These sites are linked by a network of forest roads and specialized trails like Snomobile #1 and Snomobile #4, reflecting the area's dual role as a working forest and a recreational destination.

Open meadows such as Big Summit Prairie, Gray Prairie, and Lytle Prairie offer a stark contrast to the timbered ridges of Winter Butte and Round Mountain. Numerous water sources, including Johnson Cr, Lookout Cr, and various springs like Buck Spring and Kyle Spring, feed the drainage systems that carve through the mountain range. Remote outposts and landmarks like Baneberry and Lutsey Point provide reference points for navigating this backcountry terrain.
