2020 Map of Rabbit Valley

About this map

The North Fork Crooked Wild and Scenic River cuts through the northwest corner of this Crook County landscape, part of a high-desert environment defined by seasonal water management. The southern portion of the Ochoco National Forest gives way to a complex system of livestock water sources, including named catchments like Foster Reservoir, Merwin Reservoir Number 2, and Jumbuck Reservoir. These features, alongside Rabbit Valley, illustrate the historical and ongoing reliance on dispersed water engineering for ranching in this arid interior. Prominent volcanic landforms such as Juniper Butte, Isadore Butte, and York Butte rise above the flats, providing navigation landmarks across a network of rural routes including Scott Rd and Paulina Valley Rd. For those researching local land use, the map details many smaller springs like Watson Spring and Luelling Spring that have long anchored activity in this part of Oregon.
