About this map

South Fork Crooked River and its intricate tributaries define this high-desert landscape in Crook County. The drainage network is punctuated by seasonal water sources and named catchments such as South Dagus Reservoir, Pickett Lake, and Lillard Lake, reflecting the critical importance of water management in this arid ranching and grazing region. The terrain is marked by significant elevation changes, from the heights of Steens Ridge and Orr Point to the deep incisions of Sheep Head Canyon and Bedell Canyon.

A network of remote access routes, including Se Gi RD and Price-Twelvemile RD, connects various named waterholes like Furnace Waterhole and Divide Waterhole. These features, along with landmarks like Sherman Rim, indicate a landscape primarily utilized for livestock and resource management. The map provides a detailed view of the natural hydrology where Sand Hollow Creek meets the broader valley of the Sand Hollow depression.
