About this map

The Whitman National Forest and Malheur National Forest converge in this high-elevation landscape along the border of Baker and Grant Counties. This terrain is defined by its prominent summits and ridges, including the namesake Bullrun Rock and nearby Bullrun Mtn. The hydrology is complex, as the headwaters of the S Fork Burnt River and the Little Malheur River drain the divide between these two protected forests.

Evidence of historical backcountry use is found in the network of spring-fed sites and specialized trails. Named springs like Smokey Bear Spring and Ike Spring are dotted across the slopes, while the presence of the Telephone trail suggests legacy communication infrastructure in this remote area. Notable geological features like Monument Rock and the curiously named Hole in the Ground offer landmarks for those tracing the history of resource management and early forestry in eastern Oregon.
