About this map

Deschutes National Forest encompasses this section of Jefferson County, where the high-altitude hydrology of the region is defined by numerous seasonal drainages and essential water sources. The prominent Green Ridge acts as a topographical anchor for the landscape, with the Metolius River and its accompanying E Metolius River Trail carving through the western edge of the quadrangle. The namesake Prairie Farm Spring and nearby Six Creek Spring suggest the critical importance of localized water points for land management and fire suppression in these dense forest lands.

Navigational infrastructure is primarily composed of an extensive network of National Forest Development Roads, such as SW Prairie Farm Rd and SW Green Ridge Rd. These routes connect dispersed features like Bridge 99 and Alder Spring across a terrain marked by deep canyons and high ridges. The map illustrates a managed wilderness where named creeks like Meadow Cr and Fly Cr feed into larger river systems, supporting the region's complex timber and watershed ecosystem.
