About this map

The Ochoco Reservoir dominates the central landscape of this Crook County region, where the high desert meets the southern reaches of the Ochoco National Forest. Fed by Ochoco Creek, the reservoir is a focal point for the Ochoco Reservoir Public Fishing Area. The surrounding terrain transitions from the lowlands of Combs Flat to the higher elevations of the Ochoco Mountains.

Evidence of the area's rural development is seen in the network of ranch and forest roads, such as SE Keystone Ranch Road and NE Mill Creek Road. Genealogy researchers may find particular interest in the Mill Creek Cemetery, located north of the reservoir near Mill Creek. Further south, the landscape is marked by smaller water features like Yancey Reservoir and the uniquely named Gravy Gulch, illustrating the local naming conventions of the high country drainage systems.
