About this map

Malheur National Forest dominates this landscape in central Oregon, where the high peaks of Aldrich Mountain and the Aldrich Mountains overlook a complex network of canyons and drainage systems. The hydrography of the region is defined by the winding course of Murderers Cr and its tributaries, including S Fork Murderers Cr and Todd Cr. These waterways are fed by numerous high-altitude water sources such as Cabbage Patch Spring, Big Spring, and Roaring Spring.

Land use and topography are revealed through a variety of gulches and ridges, from the curiously named Chickenhouse Gulch and Jackass Cr to the prominent Shake Table and Timber Mtn. The map documents the infrastructure of the U.S. Geological Survey and Forest Service, including the Natl Forest Develop Road 2150 Rd and Natl Forest Road 2170 Rd, which provide access through the dense woodland and across Trail Ridge.
