About this map

The North Fork Crooked River flows through the northwestern corner of this high-desert landscape, where the Ochoco National Forest meets a network of ranching and irrigation infrastructure. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent rises including Pine Mtn, Juniper Butte, and Isadore Butte, which overlook the expansive basin of Rabbit Valley.

Water management is central to this Crook County region, as evidenced by numerous named stock ponds and reservoirs such as Biddle Reservoir, Poley Reservoir, and the significant Merwin Reservoir Number Three. These features, along with isolated water sources like Luelling Spring and Lower Watson Spring, reveal the essential role of water rights and range improvements in maintaining the local economy. The map also traces established routes like Scott Rd and Valley Rd, which connect the valley floor to the timbered heights of Lakeside Ridge.
