About this map

Sawtooth Crater and the volcanic landscape of Sawtooth Ridge define this high-altitude terrain within the Whitman National Forest. The map documents a complex network of water management features, such as the Big Creek Ditch, Erwin Ditch, and Emele Ditch, which channel water from the surrounding heights toward the agricultural lands in the Lower Powder Valley.

Transport through this part of Baker County relies on rugged routes like Gilkison Mill Rd and Clover Creek Gilkison Mill Rd, which trace the drainage of Tucker Creek. The inclusion of the Conundrum Creek Snowmobile Trl and Balm Creek Snowmobile Trl reflects the modern recreational use of these historical forest corridors. Family-named roads such as Cook Rd and Skinner Ln near the Powder River offer specific points of interest for genealogists tracing early residency in the valley.
