About this map

Malheur National Forest and Whitman National Forest converge in this high-elevation corner of Oregon, where the boundary between Grant and Baker counties follows the ridgelines. The landscape is defined by the massive profiles of Deardorff Mtn and Baldy Mtn, surrounded by a complex network of steep drainages including Thirsty Gulch, Deadman Gulch, and the curiously named Profane Gulch.

Logging and forest management infrastructure is evident through a dense system of service roads such as Natl Forest Develop Road 7635 RD and NFD Road 700 RD. The availability of water in this arid upland environment is marked by numerous scattered water sources like Wigwam Spring, Elkhorn Spring, and Alder Spring, which have long served as vital points for both wildlife and human activity within these federal timberlands.
