About this map

Rodman Rim dominates the central topography of this high desert terrain in central Oregon, where the landscape is defined by drainage patterns and seasonal water flow. The southern portion of the quadrangle features the Houston Reservoir Number One and the channel of the Dry River, illustrating the water management efforts in this arid environment. The map details the transition across the Deschutes Co Crook Co boundary, a line that cuts through an area of remote ranching roads and rugged elevation shifts.

Surface water is sparse, represented by Little Bear Cr in the north and Bear Cr to the east, which are tracked alongside primary access routes like Bear Creek-Fife Rd. These roads and the occasional reservoir point to the long-standing importance of livestock grazing and land management in this portion of the state, where survival and movement are closely tied to the natural relief and limited water sources.
