2024 Map of Williams Prairie

About this map

Ochoco National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape, where a series of named openings—or prairies—punctuate the timbered terrain of Crook County. These flat basins, including Williams Prairie and the expansive Big Summit Prairie, historically served as vital grazing lands and water sources for early settlers and ranchers. The drainage network is complex, with the North Fork Crooked Wild and Scenic River winding through the south while dozens of creeks like Johnson Creek and Allen Creek feed into local water management features.
