About this map

Malheur National Forest dominates this section of the Aldrich Mountains, where high ridges and deep drainages define the landscape. The terrain is marked by significant elevations like Fall Mountain and Hanscombe Mtn, providing a look at the complex hydrography of the region. Numerous named springs, including Starr Spring, Windfall Spring, and Fall Mountain Spring, feed the creeks that carve through the gulches.

Evidence of early land use and local nomenclature is visible in features such as Graveyard Gulch, Coal Pit Mtn, and Pleasant Hill. The southern portion of the map transitions into the broader expanse of Bear Valley, where Geary Meadow and Long Glade suggest more open grazing or timber lands. An extensive network of forest development roads, such as Natl Forest Develop Road 1409 RD, provides access to these remote reaches of Grant County, tracing the legacy of forest management and natural resource navigation.
