2011 Map of Alsup Mountain

About this map

The South Fork John Day River winds through this high-elevation landscape, defining a network of drainages and seasonal meadows in Eastern Oregon. By 2011, the area reflects a deeply rooted ranching and forest management history, anchored by sites like Rickman Ranch and Buttes Ranch. The terrain is characterized by broad ridges and high points such as Donivan Mountain and Alsup Mountain, separated by significant open spaces like Sunflower Flat and Sawtooth Meadows. Water resources are central to the geography here, with numerous developed points including Rickman Reservoir and Browns Reservoir, alongside a high density of named springs like Chris Borg Spring and Bear Tree Spring. Evidence of seasonal habitation and historical land use is visible at Delles Creek Camp and the remote Turner Cabin, while the network of forest roads like Burns-Izee Rd provides the primary access through this complex drainage system.
