About this map

Malheur National Forest dominates this landscape in Grant County, defined by a complex network of ridges and drainage basins. The southern reach of the map is anchored by the South Fork John Day River, where Morgan Cr and Poison Cr contribute to the valley's watershed. High elevations are marked by distinctive peaks such as Graylock Butte, Frenchy Butte, and Big Baldy, providing a look at the geographical layout before the turn of the millennium.

Evidence of seasonal use and wilderness travel appears in features like Camp Faraway and the Blue Ridge Trail, which traverses the eastern heights. Smaller, descriptive water sources such as Magic Lantern Creek, Bark Cabin Creek, and Frenchy Spring suggest a history of localized naming by early surveyors or travelers moving through the high country. The map also captures specialized terrain such as Deer Creek Flats and the high Vester Creek Meadows.
