1972 Map of Bullrun Rock

About this map

The high dividing ridges of the Whitman National Forest and Malheur National Forest dominate this landscape along the boundary of Baker and Grant counties. The complex network of water sources, including Payton Spring and the South Fork Burnt River, underscores the importance of water management in the high country, evidenced by the Eldorado Ditch cutting across the northern slopes. This hydraulic feature carried water for mining and irrigation across the watershed, a common necessity in the arid reaches of Eastern Oregon.
