About this map

Greenhorn sits at a high-elevation divide along the border of Baker and Grant Counties, surrounded by a complex network of gold-mining legacy features. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of the N Fork Burnt River and numerous drainages like Quartz Gulch and California Gulch that hint at the region's mineral history. Evidence of early hydraulic engineering is visible in the Placer Ditch, while the Greenhorn Cem provides a genealogical touchpoint for the families who settled this high country.

Southward, the terrain opens into high-altitude meadows and valleys, including Whitney Valley and Lobelia Meadow. The map documents a dense network of forest service roads like Greenhorn Rd and the Whitney Tipton Hwy, providing access through the junctions of the Umatilla National Forest, Whitman National Forest, and Malheur National Forest. Settlements such as Robinsonville and Taylor Flat anchor the historical geographic record of this timber and mining district.
