2014 Map of Aldrich Gulch

About this map

Ochoco National Forest dominates this section of Grant County, where a complex network of forest development roads provides access to isolated high-country water sources and drainages. The landscape is defined by its numerous small-scale water storage features, such as Lost Indian Reservoir, Wigwam Reservoir, and Happy Reservoir, which suggest a history of seasonal water management for grazing or local forest use. Steep drainages like Aldrich Gulch and Black Canyon carve through the terrain, eventually feeding into the S Fork John Day River in the eastern half of the map.
