About this map

Malheur National Forest dominates this Central Oregon landscape, where the high-altitude terrain is carved by a dense network of mountain streams. The settlement of Logdell (Site) and the nearby Sproul Ranch represent the sparse ranching and forestry outposts characteristic of Grant County in the late 20th century. The presence of the Bear Valley Work Center highlights the area's role in public land management and wildfire readiness.

Hydrological features are the most prominent details, including the winding Silutes Creek and numerous named springs like Oxbow Spring and 96 Spring. The nomenclature of the landscape, from Dipping Vat Creek to Wickiup Creek, reflects a history of livestock management and indigenous influence. Researchers can trace the layout of fire roads and trails ending at locations like Roads End and the open grazing lands of Smith Meadows.
