2017 Map of Whiskey Mountain

About this map

Whiskey Mountain and Snow Mtn anchor this high-elevation landscape along the boundary of the Malheur National Forest and Ochoco National Forest. The map documents a rugged interior network of Forest Service development roads, such as Nat For Dev RD 43 and Snow Mountain Rd, which provide access to a terrain defined more by its water sources than by permanent settlements. Numerous named springs, including Schoolman Spring, Ben Brown Spring, and Lethas Spring, suggest a history of seasonal range use and watershed management. The presence of Whiskey Flat and Sawtooth Meadows indicates significant high-country grazing lands, while Officers Reservoir in the northeast corner serves as a critical point of water collection. This 2017 survey reflects the modern management of these protected public lands, detailing the specific topography and hydrography at the intersection of Grant and Harney Counties.
