2014 Map of Prairie Hill

About this map

Ochoco National Forest lands dominate this high-elevation landscape in Crook County, where topographic detail reveals a complex network of forest roads and vital water sources. To the south, the Crooked River flows along the base of the hills near the Shotgun Ranch and its accompanying Shotgun Ranch Airstrip, marking the transition from the high ridges toward the river valley. The map documents several important water management features for this arid environment, including Sheep Rock Reservoir, Dick Reservoir, and the Township Reservoir. Prominent landmarks such as Prairie Hill and the deep incision of Black Chunk Canyon provide clear orientation points for researchers. Local drainages like Little Horse Heaven Cr and Meadow Br feed the larger creek systems, while numerous named springs like Goldie Spring and Brummer Springs indicate where water reaches the surface in this remote forest terrain.
