About this map

The Ochoco Mountains dominate this central Oregon landscape, where the southern reaches of the Ochoco National Forest give way to the winding course of the Crooked River. This 1986 field-checked survey reveals a high-elevation environment defined by water management and resource extraction, evidenced by numerous named water sources like Sand Spring and Pipe Spring. The presence of several quarry sites and a network of 4WD trails suggest a region utilized for both industry and backcountry access.

Prominent landmarks such as Prairie Hill and Horse Prairie offer clear reference points for those tracing historical land use in Crook County. Drainage patterns are intricately mapped through seasonal and perennial flows including Lost Creek and Meadow Branch. The survey identifies specific landmarks like Kelly Gap and Sheep Rock Spring, providing essential data for land surveyors and historians interested in the geography of the Ochoco National Forest boundary.
