About this map

Bally Mountain rises as a central landmark within this 1967 survey of the high country spanning the Umatilla and Union County line. The landscape is defined by the intersection of the Whitman and Umatilla National Forest, with a significant portion dedicated to the Starkey Experimental Forest. This scientific and forestry-managed terrain is marked by essential high-country infrastructure, including Bally Camp and a Lookout Tower positioned for fire surveillance.

Evidence of historical land management and early diplomacy is visible through the Indian Treaty Boundary and the Old Indian Treaty Boundary that cross the northern sections. Water sources are incredibly dense across the ridges, with numerous named points such as Pothole Spring, Horseshoe Spring, and Meadow Spring supporting the local ecosystem. In the southern canyons, an Old Grade and a Railroad line suggest the area's history with timber extraction or early mountain transit near Meadow Creek.
