1963 Map of Big Meadows

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

The North Fork Walla Walla River carves through this portion of the Umatilla National Forest, defining a landscape of deep drainages and prominent ridges in the 1960s. The convergence of numerous watercourses, including Mill Creek, Webb Creek, and Tiger Creek, highlights the complex hydrology of the Blue Mountains region along the border of Walla Walla and Umatilla counties. Early infrastructure is visible through the primitive Government Mountain Road and various jeep tracks that provided access to high-elevation points like Pikes Peak 4485 and Yellow Jacket Point. Local landmarks such as the Kiwanis Camp and the aptly named The Horseshoe bend in the river reflect the recreational and geographical identity of this wilderness area. The map captures a specific era of forest management and backcountry navigation before modern road improvements altered these historic paths.
