About this map

The high ridges and deep drainages of the Malheur National Forest define this 2020 map of Grant County. Central to the area is the prominent peak of Pine Creek Mtn, which anchors a landscape of steep timbered slopes and seasonal water sources. Hydrological patterns are dominated by the intricate network of the Pine Cr watershed, alongside numerous springs such as Twin Springs and Anchor Spring that served as vital water points for early land management and grazing.

Evidence of the area's geological and ranching history is visible in the naming of topographical landmarks. Formations like Bear Skull Rims and Three Rocks provide navigational reference points across the high country. To the south, Buckhorn Meadow and the surrounding drainage of Middle Fork Canyon Cr indicate traditional grazing lands, while the presence of Forest Rd 5401 and Tamarack Draw Ln shows the modern evolution of access through this part of the Blue Mountains.
