About this map

Bingham Springs serves as the focal point for this survey of the Blue Mountains region, situated where the N Fork Umatilla River and S Fork Umatilla River converge within the Umatilla National Forest. The landscape is defined by a series of prominent high-altitude ridges, including Bobsled Ridge, Ninemile Ridge, and Ruckel Ridge, which create a complex network of deep drainages for tributaries like Shimmiehorn Cr and Lick Cr.

Evidence of recreational and forest management infrastructure is visible through an extensive system of pack trails and forest roads, such as the NF Umatilla River Trail and Buck Creek Trail. Numerous isolated water sources are documented across the terrain, including Whitman Spring and Zigzag Spring. Distinctive geological features like Graves Butte and the sharp peak of The Shimmiehorn provide clear landmarks for researchers and historians tracing the development of this protected wilderness area.
