About this map

Aldrich Mountains and the high peaks of the Malheur National Forest define this landscape in Grant County. The area is marked by significant topographical variation, including First Peak, Second Peak, and the prominent McClellan Mtn. This map captures the intricate drainage network of the region, where waters flow through McClellan Creek and Murderers Creek.

Settlement patterns in this high-altitude terrain are limited to natural gathering points like Bear Flat and Riley Creek Meadow. The naming conventions of the landscape, such as Dead Horse Mtn and Cinnabar Mtn, hint at the historic ranching and prospecting interests that once navigated these passes. Strategic points like Packsaddle Gap and The Hole indicate the primary routes used to traverse the ridges between deep canyons like Packsaddle Canyon.
