2011 Map of Sand Hollow

About this map

The South Fork Crooked River and its intricate drainage network define this high-desert ranching landscape in Crook County, Oregon. Water management is the primary narrative of this arid region, as seen through the numerous specialized features like Furnace Waterhole, Division Waterhole, and South Dagus Reservoir that sustain local livestock operations. The map documents long-standing family landholdings such as Coffelt Ranch and Cold Spring Ranch, providing a clear record of rural settlement patterns along the river and Twelvemile Creek. The terrain is marked by significant elevation changes, from the heights of Steens Ridge and Orr Point down through Sheep Head Canyon. Roads like Se Gi RD and Se Price Twelve Mile RD connect these isolated outposts across the Sand Hollow basin.
