About this map

Amity Mine and the Independent Mine mark the extraction history of this high-elevation landscape in the early 1990s. Located within the Ochoco National Forest, the terrain is defined by the sharp rise of Lookout Mountain and the distinct volcanic profile of Winter Butte. To the east, the landscape opens into the broad expanse of Big Summit Prairie, where water sources like Cram Creek and Johnson Creek provide drainage for the surrounding timberlands.

The map details an extensive network of back-country routes, including the Round Mtn Approx Loc Trail and Lodgepole Trail, which supported both forest management and recreation. Numerous water sources are identified throughout the Ochoco Mountains, ranging from Kyle Spring to Buck Spring, indicating a landscape where water management was vital for local ranching and mining operations. The presence of several quarries and an Open Pit Mine further illustrates the localized industrial footprint in this part of Crook County.
