About this map

Blalock Mountain and the steep surrounding ridges define this portion of the Blue Mountains, where the South Fork Walla Walla River carves through deep canyons and basins. The map captures a landscape dedicated to forest management and remote recreation, marked by the southern reach of the North Fork Umatilla Wilderness within the Umatilla National Forest. Historical land use is evident in the inclusion of Demaris Cabin and the presence of specialized camps like Blue Mountain Camp and McDougall Camp.

Transport and water management appear as critical infrastructure in this high-elevation terrain. Long stretches of the Lincton Road and Basket Mountain Road traverse the ridges, while the river's flow is monitored at a Gaging Station near the mouth of the valley. From the heights of Weston Mountain to the drainage of Flume Canyon, the map traces a network of springs and creeks that feed the West Fork Umatilla River.
