About this map

Ochoco National Forest defines the high-elevation landscape of this 2014 survey, straddling the county line between Jefferson and Crook Counties. The terrain is dominated by the Ochocho Mountains, featuring prominent landmarks such as Opal Mountain, Stephenson Mtn, and the distinctive Rooster Rock. This area is a complex network of volcanic ridges and deep drainages, including Desolation Canyon and the valley carved by Trout Cr.

Natural openings and high meadows provide contrast to the timbered slopes, with sites like Bingham Prairie, Moccasin Prairie, and Trail Meadow scattered throughout the forest. A dense system of forest service and county roads, including the SE Trout Creek Rd and Mc Kay Creek Rd, provides access to numerous springs such as Whiskey Spring and Lodgepole Spring. These water sources and varied geological formations, like Skookum Rock and Dick Bluff, suggest a landscape shaped by both active forestry management and long-standing recreational use.
