About this map

Malheur National Forest dominates this landscape along the border of Grant and Harney counties. This 2017 survey shows a high-desert environment defined by its water sources, including numerous named springs such as Tuhu-u Spring, Glass Mountain Spring, and Mahogany Spring. The topography transitions from the high elevations of Glass Mtn and Frazier Point down into drainage systems like Van Gulch and Diamond Dot Gulch.

Resource management and historical land use are evident through the presence of Frost Mill near the southeastern corner, tucked below Magpie Table. A complex network of National Forest Development Roads, including Natl Forest Develop Road 300 Rd and Logan Van Rd, provides the primary access through this terrain. Notable water features like Lucky Reservoir and the headwaters of Magpie Cr and Wolf Cr suggest the vital role of water in this arid highland region.
