2011 Map of Suplee

About this map

The settlement of Suplee serves as the central hub of this remote high-desert landscape, where ranching and natural springs define the human presence. Scattered across the drainage basins of Camp Creek and South Fork Beaver Creek, working homesteads like Bernard Ranch and Robertson Ranch indicate a long-standing agricultural tradition. The terrain is marked by distinctive geological formations, from the flat-topped Soda Table to the prominent Colpitts Butte, which rise above the surrounding basins. Water is a critical resource in this arid environment, evidenced by the numerous named water sources such as Soda Spring, Delore Spring, and the geothermal activity at Suplee Hot Spring. These points of interest, connected by routes like the Paulina Suplee Hwy, illustrate how early 21st-century land use in Crook County remained closely tied to the region's unique hydrology and topography.
