2014 Map of Rock Creek Reservoir

About this map

Mount Hood National Forest dominates this section of Wasco County, where the historic Barlow Rd traces a path through the southern half of the quadrangle. This route, a significant overland passage, is surrounded by a network of drainage systems and reservoirs including Rock Cr Reservoir, Smarts Reservoir, and Miller Reservoir. The map illustrates the complex water management of the region, featuring both the Threemile Ditch and Lost Boulder Ditch alongside natural features like Immigrant Spring and Washburn Spring. The terrain transitions from higher elevations at Boulder Point and Bus Point down into named valleys and clearings such as Hazel Hollow and Smock Prairie. Timber and transport history is evident in the naming of roads like Wamic Mill Rd and Linns Mill Rd, which connect the forest interior to the surrounding area.
