About this map

The John Day River winds through the southern reaches of this landscape, flanked by a network of drainage systems that define the geography of the Malheur National Forest. This section of Grant County is characterized by numerous seasonal and year-round water sources, including Isham Cr, Deardorff Cr, and Reynolds Cr. The terrain is deeply incised by a series of gulches, such as Axe Gulch and Winegar Gulch, which illustrate the complex watershed management within the national forest system.

Accessibility is provided by a series of forest development roads, including Natl Forest Develop Road 13 Rd and Natl Forest Develop Road 6210 Rd. These routes connect isolated water points like Bumblebee Spring, Eureka Spring, and Pole Spring, which have long served as vital landmarks for those navigating the high country. The map also captures the transition between public forest lands and the rural valley floor near Co Hwy 62 and N River Rd.
