About this map

Whitman National Forest contains a complex network of glacial basins and high-elevation waters along the crest of the Elkhorn Mountains. This 2014 survey documents the hydrography of the region, where the Anthony Lakes recreation area serves as a focal point near the Union and Baker County line. The landscape is defined by its numerous small alpine water bodies, including Lilypad Lake, Grande Ronde Lake, and Van Patten Lake, which are linked by drainages such as Antone Creek and the North Powder River.

Named peaks and distinct topographic crossings illustrate the challenging nature of the terrain, from Gunsight Mountain to Nip and Tuck Pass. The map details various forest service routes, such as NFD 150 Road, providing access to remote points like The Lakes Lookout and Bobier Meadow. This record of the high country captures the geographic distribution of features like Dutch Flat and Angell Basin before more recent climate shifts altered the seasonal water levels of these high-altitude ecosystems.
