About this map

Bear Valley dominates the central landscape of this Grant County region, where the Silvies River meanders through a broad, high-elevation basin. Flanked by the Aldrich Mountains and Starr Ridge to the north, the area is defined by its vast meadows and complex hydrology, including numerous seasonal drainages like Scotty Creek and Eddington Cr. Human presence is marked by the sprawling Malheur National Forest and a network of remote timber and ranching access routes such as Scotty Creek RD and Lay-Cock CR RD.

Aviation infrastructure serves this isolated terrain, with the Cerny Airport located in the northwest and multiple Emergency Airstrips positioned for mountain safety. Natural water sources are critical here, evidenced by the many named springs like Ferris Spring and Willow Springs, as well as man-made features like Klink Reservoir, which support the high-desert ecology and local livestock interests.
