About this map

The John Day River flows through this corner of the Malheur National Forest, where the transition from high ridgelines to riparian valleys defines the local topography. At the heart of the area lies Blue Mountain Hot Springs, a significant landmark for those studying the recreational and natural history of Grant County. The northern reaches of the Strawberry Mountain Wilderness dominate the southern half of the map, encompassing features like Dead Horse Basin and the prominent Kimport Ridge.

Forest management and remote access are evident through the network of trails and minor settlements, including the Trout Farm and the Snowshoe Trail. This late 1990s revision by the Forest Service highlights a landscape maintained for conservation and backcountry use, dotted with family-named or descriptive terrain markers such as Sunshine Flat and the starkly named Starvation Rock near the eastern boundary.
