2014 Map of Bingham Springs

About this map

Bingham Springs and the surrounding wilderness of the Umatilla National Forest dominate this high-country landscape, where the Umatilla River divides into its various forks and tributaries. The terrain is characterized by a series of prominent ridges and peaks, including Bobsled Ridge, Ninemile Ridge, and Ruckel Ridge, which separate deep drainages like Thomas Creek and Shimmiehorn Creek. The presence of several high-elevation water sources such as Whitman Spring, Zigzag Spring, and Slusher Spring indicates the importance of these points for both wildlife and human activity in the Umatilla backcountry.
