About this map

Bally Mountain rises as the central landmark of this terrain, where the Starkey Experimental Forest and Range converges with the Umatilla National Forest and Whitman National Forest. The landscape is a network of ridges and canyons, defined by Rocky Ridge to the north and the steep walls of Cougar Canyon to the south. This area serves as a critical watershed, feeding numerous drainages including Meadow Creek and McCoy Creek.

Evidence of historical land management and early transit is visible through the Old National Indian Forest Reservation Boundary Rd and an Old RR Grade near the southern edge. High-altitude outposts such as Bally Camp and a Lookout Tower emphasize the region's history of forest surveillance. Water sources are exceptionally dense here, with named features like Horseshoe Spring, Syrup Spring, and Meadow Spring marking the rugged geography.
