About this map

The Ochoco National Forest dominates this landscape along the border of Wheeler and Crook counties, revealing a high-elevation environment defined by spring-fed meadows and vital water management. The terrain is marked by prominent ridges and peaks, such as Bear Mtn and Wolf Ridge, which separate various drainages. Cattle and wildlife interests are evident through a network of upland meadows like Bear Meadows, Podo Meadows, and Potter Meadows.

Water storage is a primary feature of the southern half of the quadrangle, where a series of small impoundments including Reed Reservoir, Hornet Reservoir, and Antelope Reservoir capture runoff from the surrounding slopes. These reservoirs, along with numerous named springs like Wolf Spring and Aqua Spring, underscore the necessity of water management in this part of the Ochoco Mountains. The presence of the Ochoco Mountain Trl provides a through-route for traversing the high country between the various creek basins.
