About this map

Ochoco National Forest dominates this landscape in the Ochoco Mountains, where the high-altitude terrain of central Oregon is marked by a network of springs and reservoirs. The prominent peaks of Mount Pisgah and North Point define the northern topography, while the open expanse of Big Summit Prairie stretches across the southern reaches of the quadrangle. This area serves as a vital watershed, indicated by numerous water sources such as Mud Spring, Maxwell Reservoir, and Yellowjacket Reservoir.

Tracing the complex drainage patterns reveals the headwaters of Bridge Creek and Milk Creek, which flow through the timbered slopes. The map details a sophisticated network of forest service roads, including the Summit Road and Natl Forest Develop Road 550 Road, which provide access to remote landmarks like East Point and Hoffman Spring. These features reflect the area's long-standing importance for timber management and high-country grazing near the border of Wheeler and Crook Counties.
