About this map

The Whitman National Forest dominates this section of the Blue Mountains in Baker County, where the high-elevation landscape is defined by the steep divide of Dooley Mountain. Near the northern edge, the Bald Mountain Airport sits atop a ridge near Bald Mountain, serving this remote timber and recreation area. The topography is deeply incised by drainages such as Stices Gulch, Belgian Gulch, and Dark Canyon, which channel water toward numerous springs and creeks.

Transportation through this difficult terrain relies on the winding State Hwy 245, also known as the Dooley Mountain Hwy, which reaches its crest at Dooley Summit. This route connects the various forest service roads, such as Stices Gulch Rd and Bridgeport Ln, that provide access to the W Fork Reservoir and E Fork Reservoir. The map illustrates a network of vital water sources including Moonshine Spring, Alder Spring, and Rooster Rock Spring, which are essential features in this high-country environment.
