About this map

Malheur National Forest dominates this section of Grant County, where the transition from high ridgelines to the open meadows of Logan Valley is defined by a complex network of water sources. The landscape is characterized by its numerous named springs, such as Blowfly Spring, Tony Spring, and Dago Spring, which feed into major watercourses like McCoy Creek and Crooked Creek. These hydrological features are central to the area's utility, supporting both natural glades like Shoestring Glade and human activities indicated by the Lake Creek Organization Camp.

Resource extraction and conservation meet at the Strawberry Mountain Wilderness Boundary, which marks the northern reaches of the sheet. Evidence of industrial activity is present in several small-scale Quarry sites scattered through the forest. The mapping reveals a terrain utilized for both recreation and timber management, with landmarks such as the Ranger District station and Squaw Meadow providing specific points of reference for those studying the land use patterns of the mid-1990s.
