About this map

Wolf Mountain rises as a central landmark in this high-altitude landscape within the Ochoco National Forest. Mapped in the early 1970s, the terrain is defined by a dense network of pack trails and jeep tracks, such as the Black Canyon Trail (Pack) and Owl Cr Trail (Pack), which served as the primary conduits through the complex ridges and basins. The presence of a Lookout Tower on the summit of Wolf Mountain underscores the region's importance for forest management and fire observation.

Water management is a defining characteristic of the area, evidenced by numerous small-scale water projects like South Prong Reservoir, Kelsey Reservoir, and Mud Reservoir. These features, alongside isolated spots like Mud Springs Campground and Honeymoon Basin, reflect a landscape utilized for forestry and seasonal grazing. The intersection of three county lines—Wheeler, Grant, and Crook—adds a layer of administrative history to this high-country study.
