2011 Map of Mud Spring

About this map

Beaver Creek Cemetery sits at the heart of this high-desert ranching landscape in Crook County, where early 21st-century surveys document a network of established homesteads and water management. The terrain is defined by prominent volcanic features and escarpments, including Rattlesnake Butte, Laughlin Table, and the dramatic Cordella Rim. A system of seasonal and perennial waters like Beaver Creek and Grindstone Creek support numerous working ranches, such as Miller Ranch and Lister Ranch. The infrastructure reflects a reliance on carefully managed resources, evidenced by the Marshy Reservoir and Palmer Reservoir. From Logan Ridge in the northwest to Mud Spring Butte in the south, the map details the rugged topography and rural road systems, including SE Lister Rd and the Paulina Suplee Hwy, that connect these isolated agricultural operations.
