About this map

Whitman National Forest contains a complex system of alpine basins and granite peaks where the boundaries of Union, Baker, and Grant counties converge. High-altitude water bodies like Anthony Lake, Grande Ronde Lake, and Lilypad Lake are clustered in the northwest, supported by infrastructure including several campgrounds and a Picnic Area. The landscape is defined by its glacial heritage, featuring dramatic landforms such as Gunsight Mountain, Angell Basin, and Cunningham Cove.

Resource extraction and backcountry access are evident through the Loy Mine and a Gravel Pit located near Anthony Creek. A network of trails, jeep tracks, and pack trails connects the high passes, including Nip and Tuck Pass and Dutch Flat Saddle. The drainage of the North Fork Powder River flows through the southern portion of the quadrangle, carving through areas like Bobier Meadow and below the slopes of Twin Mountain.
