About this map

The Powder River Valley defines the southern edge of this landscape, where the Powder River winds through agricultural land marked by a network of drainage structures like the Ditch. Moving north, the terrain rises sharply into the high elevations of the Whitman National Forest, a region characterized by significant geological formations including Table Mountain and the distinct Sawtooth Crater.

Resource extraction and land management are evident through scattered prospect sites and a Gravel Pit located near the center of the survey. The hydraulic history of the area is well-documented by named water sources like Sardine Spring and Fruit Springs, alongside the Water Pipe Gulch. Numerous Jeep Trails crisscross the ridges, connecting the Powder River lowlands to the high reaches of Sawtooth Ridge and Tamarack Flat.
