2023 Map of Brannan Gulch

About this map

The Whitman National Forest dominates this section of Baker County, where the topography is defined by high peaks and steep drainages like Brannan Gulch and Spring Gulch. Water management is a critical theme in the landscape, evidenced by the Reeds Ditch and its proximity to the Burnt River in the southern portion of the quadrangle. Historic transportation routes appear throughout the forest, including Railway Rd and Old Trestle Ln, which suggest the area's legacy of timber extraction and mountainous transit. Natural water sources like Bald Mountain Spring and Frog Spring are scattered across the high ground near Bald Mtn, providing vital points for local hydrology in an area marked by rugged ridges and deep hollows like Cougar Hollow.
