About this map

The Aldrich Mountains define this high-altitude landscape within the Malheur National Forest, where a complex network of seasonal and perennial waters drains through steep terrain. The drainage system is anchored by Murderers Cr and its tributary, S Fork Murderers Cr, which carve through deep canyons and gulches. Named features like Chickenhouse Gulch, Deer Gulch, and East Fork Corral Gulch suggest a history of local livestock management and early settlement patterns.

High plateaus and ridges, such as Shake Table and Timber Mtn, dominate the southern portion of the sheet. Numerous water sources are identified, ranging from the prominent Big Spring to smaller, distinctively named points like Cabbage Patch Spring and Roaring Spring. These springs and gulches provide a detailed look at the hydrology and land use of this specific section of Grant County as it appeared in the early 21st century.
