1988 Map of Dollar Basin

About this map

Malheur National Forest dominates this landscape in eastern Oregon, revealing a territory defined by deep canyons and a complex network of springs. The Malheur River cuts through the terrain, with the Malheur Ford providing a historically significant crossing point in the northern section. The map records the varied topography of the Dollar Basin and the adjacent Miller Flat, where seasonal water sources like Miller Flat Spring and Yellowjacket Spring were vital for range management and wildlife. Along the southern edge, the border between Grant and Harney counties bisects rugged drainages including Skookum Canyon and Van Gulch. A solitary Rock Quarry near the northeastern corner suggests localized resource extraction, while named landmarks such as McArthur Spring and Little Bear Spring anchor specific points in this remote forest interior.
