About this map

The Golden Eagle Mine sits in the southern reaches of this high-desert landscape, reflecting the long-standing mineral interest that has shaped the borderlands between Baker Co and Malheur Co. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent elevations, including Wendt Butte, Three Pine Butte, and Baldy Mountain, which tower over dry gulches and seasonal water sources. The Burnt River flows through the northern section, fed by a network of drainages such as McPherson Creek and Stack Mahogany Creek. This 1990 provisional survey documents the intricate system of springs, including Koonitz Spring and Cave Hollow Spring, which were vital for sustaining ranching and prospecting in this isolated region. Large plateaus like Mahogany Flat and Schofield Flat offer a contrast to the steep ravines of Evans Gulch and Porter Gulch.
