About this map

The Greenhorn Mountains define the northern reaches of this interior Oregon landscape, where the peaks of Boulder Butte and Myrtle Butte stand as prominent landmarks. This territory serves as a transition between the Umatilla National Forest and Malheur National Forest, centered around the drainages of the Middle Fork John Day River. The terrain is marked by high-elevation clearings and water sources essential for forest management and local history, including Bear Paw Meadow, Coyote Meadow, and McCalpine Meadow.

Detailed drainage patterns reveal a network of seasonal and perennial waters such as S Fork Desolation, Big Boulder Cr, and Sunshine Cr. Human presence is mapped through infrastructure like the Natl Forest Develop Road 577 Rd and the Up Middle Fork Rd, which provide access to remote locations like Squatter Flat and Ragged Rocks. These features offer a precise view of the topography and land use in Grant County during the early twenty-first century.
