1995 Map of Bridge Creek

About this map

The North Fork John Day River flows through the southern portion of this landscape, marking a significant transition in the terrain near the Bridge Creek State Wildlife Area. This mid-1990s survey illustrates a region defined by extensive public land management, where the Umatilla National Forest meets state-protected habitat. The topographic detail reveals a complex network of drainage systems, including Johnson Canyon, Randall Canyon, and Day Bridge Canyon, which carve through the high Flats. Access to these remote reaches is provided by the Blue Mountain Scenic Byway, while the Ukiah-Dale Forest Wayside offers a point of interest along the western boundary. Numerous water sources such as Skull Spring and Meador Spring are documented, supporting the local ecosystem and any small-scale operations like the isolated Gravel Pit found near the river fork.
