About this map

Ochoco National Forest dominates this high-country landscape, where the Ochoco Mountains meet sprawling meadows like Big Summit Prairie and Indian Prairie. The terrain is defined by volcanic peaks and high ridges, including Ochoco Butte, Slide Mtn, and Round Mountain. A complex network of drainage systems, such as Camp Creek and Scissors Creek, feeds into small high-altitude bodies of water like Walton Lake and Slide Lake.

The presence of numerous seasonal routes, including the Corral Loop (Snow) and High Rim (Snow), indicates the area's importance for winter recreation. Scattered springs like Lava Spring and Hellbore Spring provide vital water sources across the higher elevations. The Wheeler and Crook County line bisects the northern reaches, marking a transition between the Carroll Glade area and the southern volcanic formations.
