2011 Map of Coleman Mountain

About this map

Stinkingwater Creek meanders through this high-desert landscape of eastern Oregon, carving out the Stinkingwater Basin between the Stinkingwater Mountains and the Crowcamp Hills. This 2011 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey documents a region defined by extensive flats and volcanic landmarks, including the notable depression of Hole in the Ground and the aptly named Indian Garden. For local historians and genealogists, the map preserves specific points of human habitation and land use such as Lucas Cabin and the shared territory of Jones and Ausmus Flat. Natural water sources like Bootleg Spring and Red Spring mark vital points in an otherwise arid terrain, while drainage systems including Griffin Creek and Coleman Creek define the local topography surrounding Coleman Mountain and Bald Mountain.
