2014 Map of Pringle Flat

About this map

Ochoco National Forest defines this high-desert landscape in Crook County, where the terrain transitions from forested ridges to the open expanse of Pringle Flat. This 2014 survey documents a network of seasonal water management features essential for ranching and forest health, including Klootchman Cr Reservoir and the Pringle Flat Reservoir. The drainage patterns are clearly marked by the winding courses of Soldier Cr, Ant Cr, and Bear Cr, illustrating the hydrology of the Ochoco Mountains' southern slopes. Improved roads like SE Roberts Rd and SE Klootchman Creek Rd provide the primary access into these remote reaches, which are also serviced by smaller reservoirs like Rickmans Camp Cr Reservoir Number Two. For researchers, the map provides a contemporary view of public land management and the enduring importance of water resources in Oregon's interior.
