1963 Map of Big Meadows

About this map

Umatilla National Forest dominates this terrain along the Oregon-Washington border, where the steep canyons of the Blue Mountains meet the headwaters of the North Fork Walla Walla River. The landscape is defined by deep drainage systems like Big Meadow Canyon and Henry Canyon, which cut through high ridges such as Broken Ridge and Low Ridge. A solitary Mine located near Mill Creek and the presence of Kiwanis Camp in the northwest corner suggest a history of both resource extraction and seasonal recreation.
