2017 Map of Post

About this map

The Post settlement serves as the focal point for this landscape in central Oregon, situated where Newsome Creek Rd and Horse Heaven Rd intersect near the Crooked River. This high-desert terrain is defined by its water management and volcanic geography, with the Ochoco National Forest blanketing the northern heights. Ranching and land use patterns are evident through features like Shoun Reservoir and Horse-Heaven Reservoir, which capture runoff from the surrounding drainages. Named peaks such as Pollard Butte, Joe Butte, and Lucky Butte provide significant topographical landmarks across the township lines. The road network, including the specifically named Pine Stub Rd and Shotgun Rd, indicates the long-standing access routes for forest management and local ranching operations that have shaped this portion of Crook County.
