About this map

Pfeiffer Hill and the surrounding high plains of Crook County dominate this 1980s landscape, captured just before modern development altered these remote drainages. The area is defined by a complex network of seasonal watercourses and ridges, most notably the Kaiser Divide which separates the north-flowing waters of Benton Creek and Beaver Creek from the southern reaches of Inyan Kara Creek.

Evidence of local resource use is scattered across the terrain, including a small Gravel Pit and a Flowing Well located near the southern boundary. Distinctive topographical landmarks like Buck Hill, Lime Buttes, and O'Haver Peak provide vertical orientation above the broad expanse of Black Flats. This survey preserves the exact placement of early infrastructure like the Wooden Pole Trans Line, offering a clear look at how human activity adapted to the natural contours of Oak Canyon and the various forks of the local creek systems.
