About this map

Ochoco National Forest spans this 2020 study at the intersection of Wheeler, Grant, and Crook counties. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent ridges and basins, including Battle Ridge, Princess Ridge, and the Honeymoon Basin. Water management is a central theme of the landscape, evidenced by numerous named storage features such as Kelsey Reservoir, South Prong Reservoir, and Congleton Cr Reservoir. These improvements support the high-country ranching and forestry operations that have long characterized this part of the Blue Mountains.

Local history and topographic detail are preserved in the naming of remote locales like Three Forks, Bear Skull, and Humphrey Pasture. The map traces the intricate drainage networks of Black Canyon Cr and Tamarack Cr, providing a precise record of the upland environment as it appeared in the late 2010s. For genealogists or land researchers, the inclusion of specific springs like Twin Springs and A and M Spring offers valuable points of reference in this sparsely populated region.
