1972 Map of Aldrich Mountain North

About this map

The John Day River carves through this northern section of the Aldrich Mountains within the Malheur National Forest. This 1970s landscape is defined by its water sources and rugged topography, featuring a network of drainages such as Stockdale Creek and Marks Creek that feed into the main river valley. Notable human marks on this terrain include the Aldrich Grave and the small settlement at Stewarts Crossing, alongside infrastructure like an Aqueduct and a Radio Tower. Higher elevations reveal several small alpine bodies of water, including Stewart Lake, Roosevelt Lake, and Pincher Lake. The map details a transition from the river basin up toward the peaks of Aldrich Mtn and Little Aldrich Mtn, providing a record of 20th-century land management and remote Oregon geography.
