2020 Map of Brannan Gulch

About this map

The Burnt River winds along the southern edge of this Baker County landscape, serving as a primary drainage point for a complex network of canyons and gulches. Significant landmarks like Brannan Gulch and Browns Gulch descend toward the river valley, reflecting the area's characteristic water-management history through features like Reeds Ditch. Much of the territory is contained within the Whitman National Forest, where the terrain rises sharply toward Bald Mtn and Black Mtn. Evidence of historic transportation and industrial infrastructure remains visible through labels such as Old Trestle Ln and Railway Rd, suggesting a legacy of timber or mineral transport. Scattered water sources, including Frog Spring and Snag Spring, punctuate the high country, providing vital points of reference in this high-altitude Oregon environment.
