About this map

Malhuer National Forest encompasses the entirety of this interior Oregon landscape, characterized by high-elevation summits and a dense network of mountain springs and creeks. High points like Flagtail Mountain and Horse Mtn define the central topography, while the northern reaches include the prominent Blue Ridge. The region is defined by its water sources, from Blue Ridge Spring in the northwest to Carson Spring in the southeast, feeding numerous drainages including S Fork Murderers Cr and Stewart Spring.

Evidence of historical land use and extraction is found at Walt Brown Gulch and Sulphur Gulch near the southern boundary. The presence of John Young Meadows suggests localized areas of historical grazing or settlement amidst the timber, accessible by a complex system of forest development roads such as Natl Forest Develop Road 24 Rd. This survey documents the specific management and infrastructure of the forest at the start of the 21st century.
