About this map

Big Summit Prairie and a series of high-altitude grasslands dominate this section of the Ochoco National Forest. The landscape is defined by its complex water management and natural drainage, featuring the North Fork Crooked Wild and Scenic River and numerous catchments like Round Prairie Reservoir and North Fox Reservoir. These prairies—including Antler Prairie, Long Prairie, and the namesake Williams Prairie—suggest a history of seasonal grazing and forest management.

Water infrastructure is prominent throughout the terrain, with features such as Gill Ditch and Peterson Cr Reservoir supporting the area's hydrology. Remote springs like Dingus Spring and Hellebore Spring are scattered across the forest, providing vital water points in the higher elevations. The network of forest roads, including Arvid Nelson Rd, provides the primary access through these meadows and timberlands.
