2017 Map of Granite

About this map

Granite sits as the central settlement in this high-altitude landscape where the Umatilla National Forest meets the Whitman National Forest. The map documents a complex drainage system defined by Granite Cr and its many tributaries, including Clear Cr, Olive Cr, and Bull Run Cr. The terrain is marked by numerous named gulches such as China Gulch, Big Gordon Gulch, and Alamo Gulch, reflecting a history of land use and exploration in the Blue Mountains. High points like Quebec Hill and Ten Cent Butte overlook open areas such as Happy Prairie, Sawmill Flat, and Beaver Meadows. This modern survey details a dense network of forest development roads, including the Ukiah-Granite Road 52 and the Bull Run to Baker Rd, which trace the same paths used for generations to access the timber and mineral resources of this remote region.
