About this map

Malheur National Forest and Whitman National Forest converge in this high-altitude landscape of eastern Oregon, defined by the drainage systems of the Burnt River. The terrain is marked by a complex network of springs, such as Skunk Cabbage Spring and Wallow Spring, which feed into steep canyons like Dooley Gulch and Webb Gulch. The Grant and Baker county line bisects the western portion of the map, following the ridgeline that includes Blue Mountain Summit.

Logistical movement through these mountains is centered on a series of Forest Service routes, including NFD Rd 1940 Rd and the high point at Summit Meadow. The presence of numerous named meadows, like Lyman Meadow, suggests traditional grazing sites or openings in the dense timber. These features, along with the headwaters of N Fork Burnt River and Middle Sister Cr, reveal a landscape managed for both resource protection and back-country access.
