2014 Map of Whistler Point

About this map

The Ochoco National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape in the Ochoco Mountains, where numerous peaks and springs suggest a history of seasonal grazing and water management. High points like Whistler Point, Hamilton Butte, and Grant Butte overlook a complex network of seasonal drainages and named water sources, including Marks Lake and Whitney Reservoir. The presence of open areas such as Grant Meadows and Spears Meadow, along with specific family-named landmarks like Koch Reservoir, points to the long-standing integration of forest management and early ranching interests in this part of Crook County. Primitive roads like the Old Ochoco Hwy and Summit Rd snake through the drainage basins of Marks Cr and Ochoco Cr, tracing the historical transit routes used before modern forest developments.
