About this map

The high meadows and drainage basins of the Malhuer National Forest define this 2014 topographic study of Grant County. The landscape is marked by the convergence of several major water systems, including the Little Malheur River in the north and the North Fork Malheur River to the southwest. Named terrain features like Flag Prairie, Lost Dog Flat, and Bear Creek Meadow indicate the presence of relatively level grazing or marsh land within the complex network of ridges and gulches.

A dense concentration of seasonal water sources, such as Seven D Bar Spring, Tamarack Spring, and Alarm Clock Spring, suggests a landscape long utilized for livestock or backcountry travel. The survey details the limited transport infrastructure of the era, consisting primarily of forest routes like Natl Forest Develop Road 16 Rd and Nation Forest Road 898, which follow the contours of landforms like Rattlesnake Ridge and Prairie Hill.
