1983 Map of Sand Hollow

About this map

The South Fork Crooked River carves a deep path through the High Desert of Crook County in the early 1980s, revealing a landscape defined by seasonal water and cattle ranching. The presence of Cold Spring Ranch, Sherman Ranch, and Lower Sherman Ranch illustrates the importance of riparian corridors for settlement in this arid region. High above the river valley, the terrain shifts to dramatic flats like Twelvemile Table and prominent ridges such as Steens Ridge, where essential infrastructure for livestock is marked by the Divide Waterhole and Furnace Waterhole. The ephemeral nature of the local hydrology is evident in the numerous dry lakebeds, including Daguis Lake (Dry) and Lillard Lake (Dry). This survey captures the specialized land use of the Oregon interior, where 4wd tracks and canyons like Sheep Head Canyon provide the only access through the rimrock and sagebrush.
