About this map

Suplee sits at the heart of this high-desert landscape in eastern Crook County, serving as a focal point for the surrounding cattle ranching and timber geography. The map reveals a territory defined by complex drainage systems and volcanic topography, where the Ochoco National Forest borders the northern reaches. Water sources are critical identifiers in this arid environment, evidenced by the presence of Suplee Hot Spring, Soda Spring, and Henshaw Spring.

Family names and ranching history are etched into the terrain through landmarks like Colpitts Butte, Weberg Butte, and Pitt Butte. The transportation network relies on rural routes such as Paulina Suplee Rd and Mills Ranch Rd, which connect isolated basins like Smith Basin to the broader region. This 2020 survey provides a modern accounting of these established place names and natural features, tracing the enduring footprints of habitation at Miners Flat and along the various forks of Trout Creek.
