About this map

Bingham Springs and the nearby Bar M Ranch serve as primary points of interest along the Umatilla River in this section of the Umatilla National Forest. The landscape is defined by its complex drainage network, where the North Fork and South Fork meet amidst prominent geological features like Graves Butte and the distinctive formation known as The Shimmiehorn.

Administrative presence is marked by the Corporation Guard Station and several remote campgrounds, while the high ridges, including Bobsled Ridge and Ninemile Ridge, are traversed by historic routes such as the Lick Creek Trail. The prevalence of named water sources, such as Zigzag Spring and Whitman Spring, highlights the critical importance of water management and geography in this timbered terrain during the mid-20th century.
