2011 Map of Blue Canyon

About this map

Auburn Cemetery serves as a quiet reminder of the regional history in this Baker County landscape, situated near the remnants of former water works like the Old Auburn Reservoir. The terrain is deeply etched by a complex drainage system including Blue Canyon, French Gulch, and Freezeout Gulch, reflecting the topographic character of the Blue Mountains. Modern infrastructure is anchored by Mason Dam on the Powder River, which manages water for the valley below through historical conveyances such as the Littlefield Ditch. While much of the land is managed through a network of Forest Service roads like NFD RD 7220 RD, the presence of landmarks like Auburn Sno-Park and numerous named gulches and reservoirs indicates a landscape heavily shaped by both recreation and historical resource management.
