About this map

The Malheur National Forest dominates this Grant County landscape, where the confluence of several mountain drainages forms a complex network of canyons and high ridges. The settlement of Raddue sits near the center of the sheet, positioned along Cottonwood Creek just south of the Cottonwood Campground. The map preserves the location of Mountain Rest (Site), an indicator of former activity or structural remains within the national forest boundaries.

Hydrology is a defining characteristic here, with numerous waterways like Beech Creek, Ennis Creek, and Johnson Creek carving through the terrain. Significant landmarks such as Johnson Saddle and Keeney Meadows provide orientation points for those studying the area's geography. Evidence of local resource extraction is visible through several identified Quarries and a Gravel Pit, while the presence of Tamarack Swamp highlights a distinct ecological pocket amidst the higher elevations.
