2011 Map of Roberts Creek

About this map

The John Day River winds through this high-elevation landscape, defining a complex network of drainages and seasonal springs. Early 21st-century topography highlights the Blue Mountain Hot Springs and nearby Trout Farm Spring, showing the hydraulic character of this part of the Strawberry Range. The area is marked by distinctive landmarks named by early settlers and travelers, such as Starvation Rock and Dead Horse Basin, which reflect the challenges of navigating this terrain. Higher elevations like Kimport Ridge overlook broad basins and meadows, including Little Meadows and Sunshine Flat. This survey provides a clear view of the water resources that have long supported life here, from Frog Lake to the headwaters of numerous creeks like Rail Creek and Graham Creek.
