2011 Map of Pringle Flat

About this map

Pringle Flat anchors this high-desert landscape in Crook County, where water management and ranching operations define the settlement pattern. Isolated homesteads such as McCormack Ranch and Rickman Ranch are situated near the seasonal drainages of Bear Creek and Soldier Creek, which feed into the area's essential reservoirs. The existence of Pringle Flat Reservoir and the specifically numbered Rickmans Camp Creek Reservoir Number Two reflects the critical infrastructure required for livestock and agriculture in this semi-arid environment. A network of rural routes, including the Bear Creek-Fife Rd and Pringle Flat Rd, connects these remote outposts. The map reveals the intricate drainage systems of Ferguson Creek, Klootchman Creek, and West Fork Camp Creek, which follow the natural contours of the Central Oregon terrain.
