2017 Map of Stockade Mountain

About this map

Stockade Mountain and the neighboring Stockade Buttes anchor this high-desert landscape in southeastern Oregon. This 2017 survey reveals a complex hydrological network of ephemeral drainages and named water sources essential to the region's ranching and wilderness character. Vital water points such as Coyote Springs, Helpful Spring, and Soldier Spring are mapped alongside the deep incisions of Box Canyon. Human passage through this high terrain is concentrated along the Crowley-Riverside Rd, which skirts the eastern edge of the quadrangle near Crowley Cr. The map details the drainage patterns of Stockade Cr and Meadow Cr, illustrating how water moves through the volcanic topography of Whitehorse Mtn and the northern Swamp Creek Buttes.
