About this map

Sullivan Gulch defines this high-elevation landscape in the Blue Mountains, where a complex network of springs and seasonal creeks supported remote ranching and research activity. The terrain is marked by essential water sources for livestock and wildlife, ranging from Blarney Spring to the aptly named Mud Hole Spring and Tin Troughs Spring. Central to the map's geography is Camas Creek, which is fed by numerous tributaries including Dry Camas Creek and Rancheria Creek.

Evidence of historical land use is visible in the placement of the Camas Creek Corral and the Research Corrals near the northern boundary. The high plateaus feature distinctive clearings like Frog Heaven Meadow, while the transportation network consists primarily of forest routes such as Bear Ridge Rd and Tin Trough Rd. These features point to a history of managed grazing and forestry in an area defined by its hydrology, from Half Moon Spring in the north to the headwaters of Fly Creek in the south.
