About this map

Strawberry Mountain dominates this portion of the Strawberry Range, a landscape defined by its high-altitude lakes and complex drainage systems within the Malheur National Forest. The map documents a rugged wilderness area where the Strawberry Mountain Wilderness boundary encloses significant natural landmarks such as Strawberry Lake, Little Strawberry Lake, and the distinctive Rabbit Ears formations.

Evidence of historical resource extraction and mountain transit is visible through the presence of the Marks-Thompson Mine near Indian Creek and various quarries. A network of primitive routes, including the Sky Line and several designated trails, connects isolated points like Siding Station and Indian Spring Butte. The geography transitions from deep basins like Wildcat Basin and Big River Basin to high ridges, illustrating the varied alpine environment before it descends toward the City Valley.
