About this map

The Ochoco National Forest dominates this mid-1960s survey, revealing a landscape defined by its timber management and remote water sources. Stretching across the Wheeler and Crook county line, the map documents an intricate network of forestry infrastructure, including roads marked as Construction and Under Construction. This era shows the heavy reliance on developed water points for fire suppression and range management, noted by the numerous stock tanks and small catchments like Scab Reservoir, Hornet Reservoir, and Reed Reservoir.

High-altitude meadows such as Bear Meadows, Squaw Meadows, and Potter Meadows are scattered throughout the Wolf Ridge area, while named springs like Yu-ma Spring and Connally Spring mark vital water points in the high country. Recreation and utility are present at the Wolf Creek Campground and a local Gravel Pit, providing a look at how the forest was utilized and maintained during the late 20th century.
