About this map

Malheur National Forest and Whitman National Forest meet in this high-elevation corner of the Blue Mountains, where the border between Grant and Baker counties follows the dividing ridges. The terrain is defined by a dense network of water sources and drainage systems, including the namesake Deardorff Mtn and the prominent Baldy Mtn. Small, named springs like Wigwam Spring, Kline Spring, and Looney Spring are scattered across the slopes, feeding the various forks of Clear Creek and Reynolds Creek.

Remote gulches such as Deadman Gulch, Last Chance Gulch, and Profane Gulch suggest a history of prospecting or isolated mountain travel. While largely roadless, the area is accessible via the 600 Rd Snowmobile Trl, illustrating the modern recreational use of these high basins and timberlands. The map serves as a detailed record of the complex hydrography and topographical landmarks that have guided generations of foresters and outdoorsmen through this portion of Eastern Oregon.
