2017 Map of Whistler Point

About this map

Ochoco National Forest dominates this section of the Ochoco Mountains in central Oregon, where a complex network of forest development roads and seasonal springs defines the high-country geography. The landscape is characterized by prominent high points such as Hamilton Butte, Grant Butte, and Whistler Point, which overlook a series of vital water sources including Mahogany Spring and Marks Lake. The drainage patterns of Marks Cr, Ochoco Cr, and Little Hay Cr illustrate the watershed's importance to the region's ecology. Historical land use is visible through the infrastructure for recreation and forestry, including the Snomobile # 1 trail, the Ponderosa Loop, and various bike ties. This mapping of the Crook and Wheeler County border area captures the terrain before modern fire or management changes, preserving the locations of remote landmarks like Cougar Rock and Spears Meadow.
