About this map

Malheur National Forest dominates this Grant County landscape, showing the forest's management and natural resources at the close of the twentieth century. The map documents an intricate network of drainage systems, including Cougar Creek, Lick Creek, and the headwaters of East Fork Beech Creek. These waterways originate from numerous high-elevation water sources such as Voight Spring and MNF Spring, carving deep into the terrain between prominent landmarks like Cougar Rock and Twin Buttes.

Resource extraction and backcountry access are evident through the presence of a Gravel Pit and Quarry near Eagle Rock. The sheet tracks a transition from managed forest lands to varied topography marked by Coxie Meadow and the confluence at Four Corners. A web of 4wd tracks and forest service trails crisscrosses the sections, indicating the area's ongoing use for logging, grazing, and public recreation.
