2014 Map of Bridge Creek

About this map

Camas Creek and its many tributaries carve a network of drainage basins across this part of the Umatilla National Forest. The landscape is defined by its deep incisions, including Johnson Canyon and Day Canyon, which feed into the primary watercourses. This area of Umatilla County is characterized by high plateau features like Bridge Creek Flats situated between the steep descents toward the North Fork John Day River in the south. The distribution of Twin Tank Spring, Clark Spring, and Skull Spring suggests a reliance on scattered water sources for forest management and local ecology. Movement through this terrain in the early 21st century relied on a network of Forest Service roads such as Soap Hill Rd and Texas Bar Rd, which follow the natural contours of the ridges and canyon floors.
