1972 Map of Aldrich Mountain North

About this map

The John Day River carves through this portion of Grant County, serving as the central artery for a landscape defined by sharp drainage gulches and high summits. This 1970s record highlights the rugged accessibility of the area through numerous jeep trails that navigate the slopes of the Aldrich Mountains. Local history is anchored by specific family and geographical markers, such as Stewarts Crossing and the Aldrich Grave, which hint at early settlement and land use near the riverbanks. High-altitude hydrology is represented by a cluster of mountain waters including Pinchot Lake, Roosevelt Lake, and Stewart Lake, all located within the northern reaches of the Malheur National Forest. The map also identifies the Lookout on Aldrich Mtn, a critical vantage point for forest management in this timber-rich terrain.
