1990 Map of Brady Creek

About this map

Cottonwood Mountain dominates the central landscape of this high-elevation corner of Malheur County, providing a backdrop for the isolated Juniper Mtn Ranch near Juniper Mtn. The 1990 survey captures a region defined by its water management and livestock history, where numerous natural water sources like Grey Horse Spring, Chokecherry Spring, and Swede Spring are critical to the arid terrain. Man-made infrastructure is represented by the Upper Buckbrush Reservoir and the lower Buckbrush Reservoir in the southern reaches. The drainage patterns are complex, with Brady Creek and Buckbrush Creek cutting through the slopes, while the presence of a Radio Facility and Radio Tower atop the mountain peaks highlights the area's role for modern communications. The map also traces a network of 4wd tracks and trails connecting various landmarks like West Cairn and Crest Cairn.
