About this map

La Grande Watershed dominates the northern reaches of this terrain, a protected landscape of vital resource management within the Whitman National Forest. The map documents a rugged interior geography defined by the high elevations of Anthony Butte and Gorham Butte, where water sources like High Summit Spring and Bear Wallow Spring feed the complex drainage systems of Anthony Creek and Beaver Creek.

Resource extraction and forest management are central to the area's development, evidenced by the Indiana Mine and the Porcupine Guard Station. Transportation through these heights relies on a network of specialized routes, from the formal Boulevard Road and Indiana Mine Road to the primitive Pack Trail segments. The crossing of the Union Co Baker Co line highlights the administrative divisions in this high country, while named clearings such as Friday Meadow and Beaver Meadow offer evidence of localized land use amidst the dense topography.
