2024 Map of Canyon Mountain

About this map

The Strawberry Mountain Wilderness and Malheur National Forest dominate this landscape in Grant County, Oregon, where the high-altitude terrain of the Aldrich Mountains meets the Strawberry Range. This survey captures a region defined by complex drainage systems and significant vertical relief, centered around the prominent peak of Canyon Mtn. The hydrology is remarkably dense, featuring upland water sources like Guernsey Pond, Mud Lake, and the thermal activity at Hot Springs. The map reveals a history of land use through family-named gulches and landmarks, including Byram Gulch and Jack Cabin Meadow. Isolated landmarks such as Horseshoe Bar and the steep slopes of Eagle Peak illustrate the geological transition between the massive ridge systems of Rattlesnake Ridge and Starr Ridge.
