About this map

Malhuer National Forest dominates this landscape on the border of Grant and Harney counties, characterized by a complex drainage system feeding into Wolf Creek. The area is defined by distinctive volcanic and topographical features such as Glass Mountain and the high, flat expanse of Magpie Table. Water sources are densely concentrated throughout the terrain, including Diamond Dot Spring, McMullen Spring, and Elk Wallow Spring, which likely served as critical points for both livestock and early travelers.

Local industry and infrastructure are centered around timber and ranching, evidenced by the presence of Frost Mill in the southeastern quadrant. Access through the dense forest is facilitated by an extensive network of forestry roads, including Natl Forest Develop Road 166 Rd and Logan Van Rd. The map also captures numerous family-named landmarks like Van Gulch, Tureman Creek, and Frazier Point, providing valuable geographic context for the region's historical land use.
