About this map

Umatilla National Forest encompasses the entirety of this terrain in the Blue Mountains, where the boundary between Umatilla and Wallowa counties cuts through a series of high ridges and deep river canyons. The drainage network is particularly well-defined, featuring the S Fork Walla Walla River and N Fork Walla Walla River in the northwest, while the Wenaha River flows through the southeast corner.

Strategic high points like Paradise Ridge, Broken Ridge, and the uniquely named Milk Shakes are connected by a network of historic pathways, including the Round Butte Trail and Shoofly Trail. For those tracking the presence of water in this high-elevation landscape, the map identifies numerous specific sources such as Bear Trap Spring, Winaha'ay Spring, and the namesake Bone Spring. These locations often served as critical landmarks for early forest travelers and livestock management in the region.
