About this map

Whitman National Forest land dominates this high-altitude landscape in Baker County, where water management and timbered slopes define the geography. The southern edge of the sheet opens into the Burnt River Valley, a crucial agricultural corridor featuring the Hereford Ditch and Cook Ditch. These man-made diversions from the Burnt River represent the region's historic reliance on irrigation to support valley ranching below the timberline.

Upland areas are marked by significant topographic features like Beaverdam Buttes and Cottonwood Buttes. The drainage network is dense with named springs such as Jack McCord Spring and Boiler Spring, feeding into the primary waterway of Beaverdam Creek. Seasonal access is highlighted by the Skyline 11 Road Snowmobile Trl, illustrating the modern recreational use of these high-elevation forest lands.
