1968 Map of Opal Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Ochoco Mountains terrain dominates this survey of the central Oregon highlands, where the boundary between Jefferson and Crook counties cuts through a landscape of ridges and high plateaus. The map documents a working wilderness, anchored by the volcanic prominence of Opal Mountain and the high elevations of Stephenson Mtn, which features a prominent Lookout Tower for fire surveillance. Settlement is restricted to seasonal outposts like Trout Creek Cow Camp and Symons Wood Camp, reflecting the area's history of timber management and livestock grazing. Named natural clearings such as Bingham Prairie and Moccasin Prairie offer a contrast to the dense network of drainages, including the North Fork and Opal Creek. The presence of the Roundup Grounds near Poison Hollow further illustrates the traditional ranching use of these federal lands within the Ochoco National Forest during the mid-to-late twentieth century.
