About this map

Bingham Springs and the Bar M Ranch anchor the northern reaches of this topographic landscape, where the Umatilla River and its numerous tributaries carve through the mountainous terrain of Umatilla County. The network of waters, including the South Fork Umatilla River and North Fork Umatilla River, defines the area's geography, feeding into a landscape marked by prominent heights such as Grouse Mountain and the uniquely named The Shimmiehorn.

Evidence of recreational land use is found throughout the river valleys at Elk Campground, South Fork Campground, and the Buck Creek Group Camp. The southeastern corner transitions toward Ruckel Ridge and Ruckel Junction, illustrating how forest service roads navigate the complex drainage systems of Thomas Creek and Spring Creek. This 2011 survey documents the established trail and road infrastructure used to access these remote points, from Slusher Spring to the peaks of Buck Mountain and Round Mountain.
