About this map

Bally Mountain rises as a central landmark in this high-country landscape where the boundaries of the Umatilla National Forest and Whitman National Forest converge. This 2014 survey documents a complex network of forest development roads, including Nat For Dev Rd 21 and Birch Creek Rd, which provide access to the various springs and drainages that define the area's hydrology. Water sources are abundant but specific, with named points like Wildhorse Spring, Box Spring, and Upper Syrup Spring serving as vital landmarks for forest management and local navigation.

Distinctive geological features such as The Narrows, Cougar Canyon, and Rocky Ridge illustrate the deeply dissected terrain of the Umatilla and Union county line. The map captures the transition of numerous creeks, including Jennings Cr, McCoy Cr, and Meadow Cr, as they carve through the mountain passes. This record is particularly valuable for those tracing the precise locations of remote springs and the intricate forestry road system as it existed in the early twenty-first century.
