About this map

The Malheur National Forest dominates this high-elevation landscape along the border of Grant and Harney counties. This 2017 survey details the complex drainage systems that feed into the Malheur River, which winds through the eastern portion of the quadrangle. The terrain is defined by broad openings like Dollar Basin, Miller Flat, and Hog Flat, interspersed with steep descents into Skookum Canyon and Black Canyon.

Remote infrastructure is characterized by a network of forest development roads, including Frost Mill Rd and Twin Springs Rd, providing access to numerous water sources such as Jordan Spring, Mike Acton Spring, and Blinn Spring. The map is a meticulous record of these small-scale water features and the named gulches, like Diamond Dot Gulch and Van Gulch, that are essential for navigating this remote backcountry.
