2020 Map of Peterson Point

About this map

Ochoco National Forest defines the high-elevation landscape of the Ochoco Mountains in this modern-era survey of Central Oregon. The topography is shaped by significant volcanic deposits, most notably the expansive Broadway Lava and Peterson Lava fields that dominate the central part of the quadrangle. These geological features sit adjacent to the landmark summit of Peterson Point, where numerous drainages and springs originate. The map documents an intricate network of water sources, including family-named sites such as Dick Nicholas Spring and Rainier Spring, which have historically sustained livestock and wildlife in this timbered region. The boundary between Wheeler and Crook counties bisects the forest, while Upper Bridge Creek Rd provides the primary access through the northern terrain.
