About this map

Ochoco National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape in Crook County, where the prominent ridgeline of Lookout Mountain and the distinct volcanic peak of Winter Butte overlook a complex network of drainage basins and mountain prairies. The map records a legacy of resource extraction, noting the Amity Mine, several unnamed quarries, and a Gravel Pit, alongside an Open Pit Mine and a Prospect Tunnel. These features indicate the region's geological significance beyond its timber value.

Water sources are vital in this terrain, as evidenced by numerous named springs such as Kemp Spring and Biggs Spring that feed into Horse Heaven Creek and Cram Creek. Recreation and land management are visible through the Round Mtn Trail and the clear delineation of the National Forest Boundary. The topography transitions from the high summits of the Ochoco Mountains down to the open stretches of Gray Prairie and Lytle Prairie.
