About this map

Susanville and Galena anchor this detailed study of the Malheur National Forest as it appeared in the late twentieth century. Located along the winding Middle Fork John Day River, these small settlements are surrounded by evidence of decades of resource extraction, with numerous Mine Shafts, a Quarry, and individual Mine sites peppering the drainages of Quartz Gulch and Deep Gulch. A small Cem near Susanville serves as a vital marker for genealogists tracing families in this remote corner of Grant County.

The landscape is defined by its complex hydrology and high terrain, including Chattanooga Mountain and Windy Point. Numerous springs like Sky Scraper Spring and Holloway Spring feed into named creeks such as Cress Creek and Armstrong Creek. Notable landmarks like Arch Rock and the high Gibbs Meadow contrast with the seasonal flats at Whisky Flat and Beymer Flat, while the isolated O'Rourke Ranch sits near the river bend.
