About this map

The Burnt River Valley anchors this high-elevation landscape in southern Baker County, where water management and ranching history converge. The southern edge of the sheet follows the Burnt River, supported by the Hereford Ditch and Cook Ditch, infrastructure vital to the region's agricultural viability. Genealogists will find the Asa Fleetwood Family Cemetery located near the riverbank, a tangible connection to the early families who settled this drainage.

Rising from the valley floor, the terrain transitions into a complex of ridges and flats, including Sunflower Flat and the prominent Beaverdam Buttes. High-country ranching activity is evidenced by the Hudspeth Cow Camp and Hudspeth Corral near the head of Rattlesnake Gulch. The map details a network of vital water sources such as Jack McCord Spring and China Creek-Corral Pond, alongside forest roads like Skyline Rd that navigate the slopes toward Sheep Rock.
