About this map

Mt Pisgah and the high ridges of the Ochoco National Forest dominate this high-altitude landscape along the border of Wheeler and Crook counties. This modern survey illustrates a terrain defined by its water sources and seasonal access, where numerous named springs such as Nelson Spring, Pisgah Spring, and Milk Spring sustain the headwaters of creeks like Maxwell Cr and Bridge Cr. The presence of Snomobile #2 (Snow) and Snomobile #3 (Snow) trails suggests the area's primary use for winter recreation and forestry management.

To the south, the terrain levels out into the Big Summit Prairie, a distinctive high-elevation meadow system. Significant water management features are scattered throughout the forest, including Maxwell Reservoir, Yellowjacket Reservoir, and Ross Reservoir, which serve as critical hubs in an otherwise drainage-heavy environment. This map provides a clear view of the complex topography between North Point and East Point, where the Ochoco Mountains transition into open prairie land.
