About this map

Brownlee Reservoir dominates the center of this landscape, marking the winding border between Baker County, Oregon, and Washington County, Idaho. The water follows the original course of the Snake River, flanked by steep drainages like Ruth Gulch and Jackson Gulch to the north, and Garden Gulch to the south. Historically significant crossing points and access sites appear along the banks, including the Cable Ferry and the Swede's Landing Boat Launch near the mouth of Quicksand Cr.

To the east, the terrain rises into the Payette National Forest, where high ridges are dissected by Sturgill Cr and Cottonwood Cr. The western side features broad, high-elevation benches such as Coyote Flat and long, linear depressions like East Long Hollow. This survey captures the area's transition from open range and spring-fed points like Andrew Spring to the protected timberlands and rugged canyons that define the modern borderlands.
