About this map

Ochoco National Forest dominates this high-elevation landscape in Central Oregon, where the crest of the Ochoco Mountains meets the expansive drainage of Big Summit Prairie. The terrain is defined by prominent peaks like Mount Pisgah and North Point, which overlook a complex network of seasonal creeks and springs that have long sustained ranching and forest management in Crook County. Water management is a primary theme of the landscape, evidenced by numerous small-scale impoundments such as Maxwell Reservoir, Yellowjacket Reservoir, and Lone Reservoir.

Tracing the boundaries between Wheeler and Crook counties, the map details an extensive system of forest development roads and winter recreation paths, including Summit Rd and Snomobile #2. The proliferation of named water sources, from Masterson Spring to Hemp Spring, reveals the essential role of hydrology in this high-desert mountain environment. This 2017 survey provides a precise look at the infrastructure supporting timber, grazing, and outdoor recreation in the northern Ochocos.
