About this map

Bridgeport Valley sits at the southwestern edge of this landscape, where Marble Creek and Clarks Creek converge near the Burnt River. The terrain is defined by a complex network of canyons and high ridges, including Windy Ridge and Ebell Creek Divide, which separate the various drainages feeding into the river. This 2011 survey by the U. S. Geological Survey and the Forest Service documents a high-desert environment characterized by numerous seasonal water sources, such as Tule Spring and Ridge Top Spring Number Two.

The interior of the quadrangle is largely defined by topographic landmarks and forest service access roads like NFD 11 RD. Notable peaks like Chicken Peak and Stump Spring Butte rise above deep incisions like Dead Horse Canyon and Snowshoe Gulch. The map records a landscape primarily utilized for its natural resources and watershed, with named features like French Gulch and Campbell Gulch tracing the rugged descent toward the river valley.
