About this map

Powell Mountain dominates this portion of the Ochoco National Forest, marking the boundary where Crook and Grant Counties meet. This high-country landscape is defined by an intricate network of livestock-management and water-storage features, including Thompson Reservoir, Duck Puddle Reservoir, and Stump Cr Reservoir. The topography transitions from the dramatic Dahlgren Rim and Stockade Point in the west toward the high plateaus of Laughlin Table and Sunflower Flats to the east.

Water management is the primary human footprint here, visible in the many small basins like Bear Butte Reservoir and Upper Bronco Reservoir. Forestry roads like Natl Forest Develop Road 58 Rd and SE Puett Rd provide access through the complex terrain of Bellworm Canyon and Powell Valley. The map details a high-altitude ranching and timber environment, where seasonal springs like Willow Spring and named landmarks like Hardscrabble Ridge or Treichel Ridge serve as vital navigational points.
