About this map

The high-desert ranching and timber landscape of Grant County centers on the town of Long Creek, where Highway 395 and Highway 402 meet near the local Cem. The settlement’s infrastructure is clearly visible, including the local Substation, Sewage Disposal Ponds, and a Covered Reservoir that serves the community's water needs. To the south, the terrain rises sharply into the Long Creek Mountains, a prominent range within the Malheur National Forest boundaries.

The map reveals a complex drainage system essential for the region's land use, featuring the Diversion Ditch off Paul Creek and numerous small seasonal streams like Bly Creek and Smith Creek. Recreational and utility points of interest include the Carter Park Rest Area and a high-altitude Communication Tower, while canyons such as War Canyon and Harer Canyon cut through the rugged northern slopes, providing a detailed record of the physical geography used by residents and forest managers at the end of the century.
