2017 Map of Keeney Point

About this map

Malheur National Forest dominates this landscape in Grant County, defined by a complex network of canyons and high points such as Keeney Point and Kahler Butte. The 2017 survey reveals a terrain carved by numerous drainages, including Slide Creek, Cottonwood Creek, and the South Fork Long Creek. Human presence is marked by a legacy of forest management and access, seen in the winding path of Keeney Forks Rd and the presence of established water sources like Keeney Camp Spring, Federal Spring, and Bear Wallow Spring. The map identifies distinct level areas amidst the relief, such as Whisky Flat and Jonas Flat, which suggest traditional locations for camps or small-scale operations within the national forest boundaries. This record of the timberlands illustrates how decades of resource management have shaped the contemporary road network and naming conventions of this high-elevation interior.
