About this map

The Grant Co Baker Co boundary runs through this high-elevation terrain, where the northern edge of the Malheur National Forest meets the southern portion of the Whitman National Forest. The landscape is defined by the prominent peak of Deardorff Mtn and the nearby Baldy Mtn, both significant landmarks in the Blue Mountains. This region's hydrology is characterized by numerous small springs and named gulches, such as Elkhorn Spring and the curiously named Profane Gulch.

Drainages like Clear Cr and Last Chance Cr cut through the steep topography, while historical naming conventions are evident in features like Deadman Gulch and Escondia Gulch. The presence of the Last Chance Snowmobile route suggests the area's use for winter recreation and forestry access within these protected federal lands. The map details the complex system of peaks and drainages that separate the watersheds of the Malheur and Whitman forests.
