1987 Map of Daly Creek

About this map

Powder River and the expansive Brownlee Reservoir dominate the northern landscape of this Baker County quadrangle. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainages and seasonal water sources, such as Poison Spring and Cherry Spring, which provided essential water in this high-elevation environment. The map details a complex system of gulches and flats, including Three Deer Gulch and Lower Peavine Flat, illustrating how the geography shaped early movement through the region. Elevations reach notable heights at Sheep Mountain, while the namesake Daly Creek winds through the central and southern portions of the sheet. The presence of numerous named creeks like Quicksand Creek and Eagle Creek suggests a landscape where water rights and access were historically critical for land management and survival.
