About this map

The Malheur National Forest landscape is defined by the high elevations of the Strawberry Range and the Kimport Ridge. This remote portion of Baker County is centered on the drainage of the John Day River, which cuts through the northwest corner of the quadrangle. A notable point of interest is the Blue Mountain Hot Springs, located near the riverbank. The terrain is characterized by named basins and flats such as Dead Horse Basin and Sunshine Flat, alongside several mountain springs like Trout Farm Spring and Goose Spring. These features, along with names like Starvation Rock, reflect a history of frontier movement and ranching within the national forest boundaries. Forest service access is documented through routes like NFD 14 RD and Natl Forest Develop Road 916 Rd, which traverse the high meadows and gulches.
