About this map

Potters Ponds and the headwaters of several drainages define this high-elevation landscape along the boundary of Wasco and Jefferson counties. The terrain is characterized by broad plateaus such as Mill Creek Flat and Miller Flat, which are dissected by steep-walled features like Wolford Canyon. Water is a defining element of the geography, with Shitike Creek carving a deep valley in the southern portion of the quadrangle while Mill Cr and Middle Cr flow through the northern sections.

An extensive network of forest and resource roads, including Co Line Rd and the Nat For Dev Rd 42, provides access through the timbered landscape. These routes, such as Nw Upper Crossing Rd, trace the movement of forestry and land management across the diverse topography. The map also identifies remote water sources like Seymore Springs, which are critical landmarks in this high-country environment.
