2017 Map of Mud Spring

About this map

Ochoco National Forest land dominates the northern portion of this Crook County landscape, where the high desert terrain transitions into timbered ridges and open flats. The mapping provides a detailed look at the water sources critical to this arid environment, including Mud Spring, Widow Spring, and Jumper Basin Spring, which feed the drainages of Beaver Cr and its northern and southern forks. For genealogists and local historians, the Beaver Creek Cem stands as a significant point of reference amidst the sprawling topography of Powell Valley and the Laughlin Table. A network of forest roads and land management routes, such as Rager Rd and Wolf Cr Rd, provides access to landmarks like Rattlesnake Butte and Sheepshooter Ridge, illustrating the modern management and accessibility of this expansive cattle and timber country.
