2017 Map of Bally Mountain

About this map

Bally Mountain rises as the central landmark of this landscape, situated near the boundary where the Umatilla National Forest meets the Whitman National Forest. This 2017 topographic study documents a high-altitude wilderness defined by its complex network of springs and canyons. To the north, Indian Lake and Jennings Cr drain the high country, while the southern reaches are marked by the dramatic descent into Cougar Canyon and Bally Canyon. The map reveals a land managed for conservation and recreation, crisscrossed by Forest Service roads like Nat For Dev Rd 21 that provide access to numerous named water sources such as Wildhorse Spring and Bally Mountain Spring. The convergence of multiple creek systems, including Meadow Cr at The Narrows, illustrates the essential drainage patterns of this corner of the Blue Mountains.
