About this map

Steet Mtn dominates this 1990 survey of Grant County, Oregon, where the landscape is defined by a dense network of drainages and named canyons. The terrain transitions from high ridges down toward East Fork Cottonwood Creek in the south, following deep incisions like Price Canyon and Deer Creek. The naming conventions throughout the quadrangle suggest a history of local land use and family-named landmarks, from Perry Wilson Canyon to Murphy Canyon.

Functional land use is evident in the presence of several gravel pits, indicating local extraction industries. To the east, the topography opens slightly near Baldwin Gulch and Dry Gulch. This provisional survey preserves the specific terminology of the late 20th-century landscape, capturing the intricate water-carved features such as Sheepshed Canyon and Howard Canyon that dictate the movement and settlement patterns of this part of Oregon.
