About this map

Mt Ireland stands as the central landmark of this high-elevation terrain within the Whitman National Forest on the border of Grant and Baker counties. The landscape is defined by the sharp ridges of the Elkhorn Mountains, including Sloans Ridge and peaks such as Grays Peak. High-altitude water sources are scattered throughout the area, from Baldy Lake and Downie Lake to numerous named springs like Bubbling Spring and Ireland Spring.

A network of Forest Service roads, including Granite Hill Rd and the Bull Run to Baker Road 24 Rd, provides access to several meadows and gulches that hint at the region's land-use history. Features like Mahoney Meadows, Haystack Meadows, and Buck Gulch indicate a geography shaped by drainage systems like the McCully Fork and Boulder Cr. These labels reflect a wilderness area deeply integrated with the forestry and recreational infrastructure of the Blue Mountains region.
