2011 Map of Brannan Gulch

About this map

Brannan Gulch and Browns Gulch occupy the southern reaches of this landscape, situated just north of the Burnt River as it winds through southern Baker County. The terrain is defined by a dense network of national forest roads and water features, including the Cleary Ditch and numerous seasonal drainages like Pine Creek and Cow Creek. This 2011 survey illustrates a land primarily managed for its natural resources and watershed, where high points like Little Bald Mountain and Bald Mountain overlook the drainage basins. The presence of Frog Spring and Bald Mountain Spring near the center of the sheet indicates vital water sources for local wildlife and grazing in this upland environment. Historically significant gulches, including Hervey Gulch and Buffalo Gulch, highlight a nomenclature rooted in the area's early prospecting and ranching history.
