1996 Map of Bassey Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1998

About this map

Storm Mountain and the high ridges of the Blue Mountains dominate this part of Umatilla County, where deep incisions like Mc Kay Canyon and Lawler Canyon define the drainage patterns of the upper Mc Kay Creek watershed. The landscape is a network of named springs and seasonal draws, such as Green Spring and Marlin Spring, which sustained early forest management and grazing operations. Evidence of land management and infrastructure is seen in the placement of Johnson Tower and Buckhorn Camp along the prominent Johnson Ridge. The northwestern corner of the map reaches the Umatilla Indian Reservation Bdy, marking a significant political and cultural boundary. Transport in the mid-1990s relied on a network of 4WD trails and forest roads that followed the contours of Baldy Ridge and Rocky Ridge, providing access to isolated points like Wood Lake.
