About this map

Maury Mountains define the northern horizon of this high-desert landscape in central Oregon. This modern survey illustrates the complex drainage patterns of the region, where watercourses like Bear Creek and Spring Creek wind through a series of significant elevations including Sugarloaf Butte and Houston Butte. The terrain is marked by dramatic geological formations, notably the prominent Rodman Rim and the deep incisions of Norman Canyon and Juniper Canyon to the south.

Transportation through this isolated section of Crook County is limited to a handful of routes such as Bear Creek-Fife Rd and Roberts Rd. For those tracing local landmarks or backcountry access, the map highlights the Norman Canyon Trl as it descends toward the canyon floor. The map captures the current state of these public lands, showing the relationship between the elevated peaks of Million Hill and South Fork Hill and the seasonal creek beds that carve the surrounding basins.
