About this map

Morris Meadows sits in the southern reach of this high-elevation landscape, where the border of Crook and Harney Counties bisects a terrain of prominent ridges and drainages. The southeastern portion is dominated by the Ochoco National Forest, characterized by numerous small reservoirs and spring-fed creeks. A network of Forest Service roads, including National Forest Development Road 4520 and Nicoll Ridge Road, provides access to these isolated water sources like Rough Cr Reservoir and O'Keefe Reservoir.

High points such as Mackey Butte, Saddle Butte, and Freezeout Ridge define the vertical relief, while Long Hollow Cr and Norcross Cr carve through the northern sections. This topography illustrates a traditional Western rangeland pattern, where named features often revolve around water management for livestock and timber access, evidenced by labels such as Gravelly Flat Reservoir and Three Pines Reservoir.
