About this map

Malhuer National Forest encompasses the entirety of this landscape in Grant County, defined by a complex network of high ridges and drainage basins. The area is dominated by significant geological landmarks including Cougar Rock, Eagle Rock, and the Twin Buttes, which serve as primary navigational points across the terrain. A sophisticated system of forest infrastructure is evident through the numerous numbered routes such as Natl Forest Develop Road 36 Rd and Natl Forest Develop Road 191 Rd, indicating the managed nature of this wilderness for timber, fire access, or recreation.

Water sources are vital to this high-country environment, ranging from the headwaters of Deep Cr and Camp Cr to isolated points like Modesty Spring and Voight Spring. The inclusion of Coxie Meadow suggests a rare level opening among the densely contoured slopes. This 2014 survey documents the modern drainage patterns and naming conventions within the Blue Mountains region, highlighting the intersection of natural geography and federal land management.
