2017 Map of Bridge Creek

About this map

The Umatilla National Forest defines the character of this landscape in Umatilla County, where a complex network of forest development roads provides access to the high plateaus and deep drainages. The topography is dominated by numerous steep corridors, including Randall Canyon, Johnson Canyon, and Day Canyon, which channel water toward major tributaries. Water resources are critical in this environment, evidenced by the named watering points such as Twin Tank Spring, Skull Spring, and Clark Spring. The southern portion of the map transitions toward the South Fork John Day River, while the northern reaches are marked by the presence of Camas Cr. These drainages create natural travel routes, such as the path along Bridge Creek that passes through the relatively level Bridge Creek Flats, showing how the terrain dictates movement through the forest.
