About this map

Bone Spring and its surrounding high-country watersheds define this portion of the Umatilla National Forest in the early twenty-first century. The map reveals a remote landscape where water sources and topography dictate the locations of seasonal outposts and recreational sites. High ridges like Broken Ridge and Low Ridge separate complex drainage systems, including the headwaters of the North Fork Walla Walla River and the South Fork Wenaha River.

Human presence is marked by isolated structures and designated camps, such as Reser Cabin and Deduck Forest Camp. These locations, along with Husky Spring and Deduct Spring, provide essential reference points for land management and back-country navigation. The peculiar naming of Milk Shakes on the high ground above Milk Creek suggests a local character shaped by those who worked and traveled these western Oregon uplands.
