2014 Map of Steet Mountain

About this map

Steet Mountain anchors this high-elevation landscape in Grant County, where the terrain is deeply incised by a dense network of canyons and gulches. The drainage pattern is particularly intricate, with Jinks Cr and Deer Cr carving through the western and central portions of the quadrangle. In the southwest corner, Schoolhouse Hill and its associated Schoolhouse Hill Spring provide evidence of former local land use and landmarking in an otherwise sparse wilderness. The only major infrastructure is the Kimberly-Long Creek Hwy, which skirts the southwestern boundary alongside the E Fork Cottonwood Cr. This topographic study reveals a landscape defined by names like Sheepshed Canyon and Perry Wilson Canyon, suggesting a history tied to seasonal grazing and individual land claims common in eastern Oregon's high desert fringe.
