1950 Map of Ochoco Reservoir

About this map

Ochoco National Forest dominates this landscape in central Oregon, where the high desert meets the western edge of the Blue Mountains. The terrain is defined by dramatic volcanic features and landmarks like Steins Pillar and Hash Rock. Local water management is central to the area's development, anchored by the Ochoco Reservoir and the Spillway on Ochoco Creek. The map documents a rural network of ranching and forestry operations, including the Keystone Ranch and Slayton Corral.
