About this map

Malhuer National Forest defines the high-altitude landscape of this 2014 survey, where the boundary between Grant and Harney counties crosses high ridges and spring-fed basins. The terrain is anchored by several prominent summits, including Jump-off Joe Mountain and Wolf Mtn, which overlook a network of seasonal water sources and meadows. These upland clearings, such as Wolf Creek Meadow and Bridge Creek Meadow, have long served as vital landmarks for navigation and grazing in the Eastern Oregon backcountry.

A complex system of forest roads, including Natl Forest Develop Road 1700 Rd and Natl Forest Develop Road 362 Rd, provides access to the headwaters of several drainage systems. Named springs like Kirkwood Spring and Bear Wallow Spring are scattered throughout the quadrangle, feeding the W Fork Bridge Cr and Middle Fork Wolf Cr. This map captures the remote character of the Blue Mountains region, highlighting the intricate topography and essential water points required for land management and recreation.
