About this map

Deardorff Mountain serves as a prominent landmark along the shared border of Baker and Grant counties in this 2014 survey. The high mountain terrain is largely managed by the Malhuer National Forest and Whitman National Forest, with a complex network of forest roads including Natl Forest Develop Road 26 Rd and NFD 2652 Rd providing access to high-elevation peaks and gulches. The landscape is defined by its numerous drainages and named springs, which were essential for early resource management and survey work in the Blue Mountains region.

Several vividly named features point to the area's colorful history and local lore, such as Profane Gulch, Deadman Gulch, and Frosty Gulch. Notable water sources like Wigwam Spring and Elkhorn Spring feed various creek systems, including Clear Cr and Wildcat Cr. The map also details topographic landmarks like Baldy Mtn and Grouse Knob, providing an intricate look at this high-altitude corner of the Oregon interior.
