About this map

The Malhuer National Forest dominates this Grant County terrain, where the northern slopes of the Strawberry Range and the Aldrich Mountains converge. The landscape is defined by a dense network of drainages and gulches, including Canyon Creek and its many tributaries. Of particular interest to local history is the Canyon City Municipal Watershed in the north, providing a clear view of the land management and resource protection essential to the nearby county seat.

Surface features like Hot Springs near the center of the map and Jack Cabin Meadow to the south indicate the traditional seasonal uses of these uplands. Transportation is anchored by the John Day-Burns Highway, which follows the natural corridor between the high ridges of Canyon Mountain and Eagle Peak. These peaks and ridges, including Rabbit Ridge and Rattlesnake Ridge, illustrate the complex topography that shaped the early ranching and forestry economy of the region.
