2024 Map of Mule Deer Ridge

About this map

Knox Cem sits in the northern reaches of this landscape, a small point of local heritage within the extensive Ochoco National Forest. The geography is defined by the high spine of Mule Deer Ridge and the Maury Mountains, where water management is central to the land's utility. A network of small impoundments like Newsome Cr Reservoir Number 1 and Pine Creek Reservoir dot the drainages, supporting the high-altitude flats. Large open spaces such as Lillie Flat, Flag Flat, and Antelope Flat break the forested terrain, while the Hammer Creek Trl offers a route through the central drainages. The naming conventions, from Klootchman Creek to Blue Eagle Spring, reflect the traditional and early ranching identities of this part of Crook County.
