1967 Map of Bridge Creek

About this map

Ukiah-Dale Forest Wayside winds along the western edge of this territory, following the path of Camas Creek as it cuts through the high country of Umatilla County. This landscape is defined by the deep drainage systems of Day Canyon and Johnson Canyon, which feed into the central Bridge Creek basin. The map reveals a land management pattern focused on conservation and recreation, anchored by the Bridge Creek State Wildlife Area and the surrounding Umatilla National Forest. In the southern reaches, the North Fork John Day River forms a significant boundary near the high plateau of Bridge Creek Flats. Named locations such as Stover and Fletch provide reference points for local history researchers, while various water sources like Skull Spring and Meengs Spring highlight the essential nature of water in this high-altitude environment.
