About this map

Malheur National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape along the border of Grant and Harney counties. The Silvies River meanders through the central valley, supported by an intricate water management system including a named Aqueduct, multiple dams, and a Weir near the Silvies Valley Ranch. This network suggests a dedicated focus on cattle ranching and irrigation in an otherwise arid environment.

Local landmarks such as the Purdy Ranch and the numerous named water sources like Maitland Spring and Deadwood Spring provide essential reference points for the area's rural history. The terrain is defined by deep cuts such as Badger Canyon and Loco Spring, leading down toward the southern drainage of Trout Creek. The presence of a Gravel Pit and a Corral further emphasizes the working nature of this remote territory at the turn of the twenty-first century.
