About this map

Bridgeport Valley occupies the southwestern corner of this Baker County landscape, where Clarks Cr and Marble Cr converge at the foot of the hills. Much of the central and northern terrain is managed as part of the Whitman National Forest, a territory defined by high summits like Chicken Peak and steep-sided drainages including Dead Horse Canyon and French Gulch.

Water sources are numerous and specifically named throughout these uplands, providing essential landmarks for navigation and land use. From the northern Bennett Reservoir to a network of high-elevation springs such as Big Fir Spring, Tule Spring, and Mahogany Spring, the map documents the vital hydrology of the region. The Burnt River winds through the southern sections, carving the Burnt River Canyon and serving as a primary corridor through the complex topography of the Ebell Creek Divide.
