About this map

The S Fork Crooked River carves a deep path through this high-desert landscape in Crook County, defining a complex topography of rims and canyons. Named ranching operations like the G I Ranch and Hardin Ranch anchor the human geography, reflecting the area's long history of cattle grazing and land management. The water network is essential here, evidenced by numerous waterholes and reservoirs including Reservoir Number Six, Divide Waterhole, and S Dagus Reservoir, alongside natural features such as Soda Spring and Dagus Lake.

Upland features such as Steens Ridge and Sherman Rim overlook the branching drainage systems of Sand Hollow Cr and Twelvemile Cr. The map details a network of unpaved access routes including Se Gi RD and Price-Twelvemile Rd, which connect the remote ranch sites and canyons like Sheep Head Canyon and Bedell Canyon. This survey illustrates the specialized infrastructure of a working rangeland, where every spring and basin is named and utilized.
