About this map

Anthony Butte dominates the central landscape of this Union County region, serving as a primary landmark in a terrain defined by high-elevation meadows and vital water sources. The area functions as a critical resource zone, evidenced by the La Grande Watershed and a complex network of forest roads like Ladd Canyon Rd and Indiana Mine Rd. This infrastructure supports a seasonal and industrial economy of timber and recreation, with sites like the North Fork Anthony Campground and Webfoot Meadow marking the high-country landscape.

Water distribution is central to the area's geography, with the East Fork Grande Ronde River and numerous springs like Bear Wallow Spring and Isham Spring sustaining the local environment. Named features such as Rocky Point, Marion Point, and High Mountain suggest a history of surveying and local navigation through the dense forests and drainage systems of North Fork Anthony Creek and Marion Creek.
