About this map

Moskee and the surrounding ranchlands of Crook County are defined by a network of drainage systems and isolated springs in this high-plains landscape. The map details a complex web of Forest Service roads and ranch access trails, such as Berglund Road to Moskee and Kunath, which connect established homesteads including the G Reynolds Ranch and Plato Ranch. Water is the critical resource here, marked by numerous named points like Willow Springs and Jones Spring, alongside more specific locations such as Deer Lick.

Geographical features like Schoolhouse Gulch and Williams-Surprise Divide indicate the localized naming conventions of the area's early settlers. Of particular interest to surveyors and historians is the Bearing Tree located near Wagon Canyon, serving as a tangible marker of the Public Land Survey System. The terrain is deeply incised by canyons and draws, including Grand Canyon and Rattlesnake Canyon, which funnel seasonal flows into Cold Springs Cr and Deer Cr.
