About this map

Whitman National Forest dominates this high-elevation landscape where Union, Baker, and Grant counties meet. The area is defined by a dense concentration of glacial tarns and alpine features, most notably the Anthony Lakes cluster, which includes Lilypad Lake, Black Lake, and the nearby Grande Ronde Lake. These water bodies serve as the headwaters for several significant drainage systems, including Antone Cr and the N Powder River.

Evidence of the region's complex geology is visible in landmarks such as Gunsight Mtn and the sheer Bobier Slide on the slopes of the Elkhorn Mountains. The map traces a network of Forest Service routes, like NFD RD 7301 RD, providing access to remote meadows and peaks such as Dutch Flat and the uniquely named Little Alps. For those interested in the natural history of the Blue Mountains, this survey captures a high-country wilderness largely shaped by its hydrology and mountain passes like Nip and Tuck Pass.
