About this map

Wiley Creek Airport serves as a remote landmark in this high-altitude landscape of Grant County, Oregon, where the terrain is defined by a dense network of forest service roads and riparian corridors. The drainage patterns of the Blue Mountains are clearly visible, with the headwaters of Donaldson Creek and Boulder Creek cutting through the topography. These seasonal and perennial waters are complemented by essential livestock or wildlife watering points such as Sagebrush Spring and Dolly Spring.

While the map shows limited permanent habitation, Pismire Camp represents the seasonal human presence in these woods. The nomenclature of the landscape suggests a history of ranching and remote operations, evidenced by labels like Dipping Vat Creek and Slip Up Creek. This 2011 survey, produced in cooperation with the U.S. Forest Service, provides a modern inventory of the roads and water sources vital for forest management and navigation in the Fox Creek and Belshaw Creek drainages.
