2017 Map of Donaldson Creek

About this map

Malheur National Forest dominates this landscape in northern Grant County, where the high-altitude terrain transitions into the pastoral opening of Fox Valley. The drainage network is complex, characterized by steep descents from high ridges into drainages like Donaldson Creek and Belshaw Cr. Historical land use is evidenced by the numerous named water sources critical for livestock and forest management, including Hinton Spring, Sagebrush Spring, and Dolly Spring. While much of the area remains underdeveloped, the presence of the Wiley Creek Airport and the logging routes such as Ridge Rd and Co Rd 88 indicate the region's reliance on both aviation and forest access for connectivity. The map also captures the varied topography of Shop Gulch and the winding course of Wildcat Cr, illustrating the rugged drainage patterns that define this section of the Oregon interior.
