2011 Map of Big Meadows

About this map

Big Meadows and the surrounding high country of Umatilla County are defined by a complex drainage system feeding the North Fork Walla Walla River. This 2011 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates a landscape carved by numerous waterways, including Webb Creek, Tiger Creek, and Skiphorton Creek. The presence of Kiwanis Camp and the distinction between Little Meadows and the larger meadow clearing suggest a history of seasonal use and forest management. Significant terrain features such as Indian Ridge, Yellow Jacket Point, and the distinct curve of The Horseshoe provide clear landmarks within the Blue Mountains region. These topographic details, along with named locations like Henry Canyon, offer a precise look at the remote interior of northeastern Oregon.
