About this map

Snake River waters define the eastern boundary of this landscape, forming the Brownlee Reservoir along the state line between Oregon and Idaho. This rugged stretch of Baker County is characterized by steep canyons and named gulches that drain toward the river, including the evocative Golden Goose Canyon and Magpie Gulch. Higher elevations to the west feature landmarks like Sugarloaf Mtn and the high-altitude Sawmill Basin, transitioning down through Quaking Aspen Flat toward the riverbanks.

Evidence of early land use and settlement is found in the naming of remote springs and small burial sites. The Hibbard Creek Cem sits near the southern edge of the map, serving as a significant point of interest for genealogists researching family history in the vicinity of Hibbard Cr. Access to these remote areas is provided by primitive routes such as Conner Creek Rd and Snake River Rd, which follow the natural contours of the drainage systems.
