About this map

Bingham Springs and the surrounding high-country ridges of the Umatilla National Forest dominate this modern survey of northeastern Oregon. The landscape is defined by the deep incisions of the Umatilla River, where the N Fork Umatilla River and S Fork Umatilla River converge amidst a complex network of drainage creeks and isolated springs. The topography transitions from the river valley to prominent elevations like The Shimmiehorn, Grouse Mtn, and Round Mtn.

A legacy of backcountry access is visible through numerous named trails, including the Ninemile Ridge Trail and the N Fork Umatilla River Trail, which follow the natural contours of the steep terrain. For those researching the geography of the Blue Mountains, the map identifies specific water sources such as Slusher Spring, Whitman Spring, and Ruckel Spring, providing a precise record of the hydrologic features and named ridges like Goodman Ridge and Bobsled Ridge that have long guided movement through this forest.
