2014 Map of Wolf Mountain

About this map

Wolf Mountain rises at the center of this high-elevation landscape within the Ochoco National Forest, where the borders of Wheeler, Crook, and Grant counties converge. The terrain is defined by a dense network of springs and drainage systems, including the headwaters of Black Canyon Cr and Cottonwood Creek. Human intervention is most visible in the proliferation of small upland water storage sites, ranging from the Kelsey Reservoir in the northeast to the Robin Reservoir and Tamarack Butte Reservoir in the southwest. These features, along with names like Humphreys Pasture and Honeymoon Basin, suggest a history of seasonal grazing and forest management. A remote junction of canyons is found at Three Forks, where the topography drops significantly toward the eastern edge of the quadrangle.
