About this map

Carney Butte and Battle Mountain Summit define the high terrain of this Umatilla County landscape, which sits within the Umatilla National Forest. The geography is characterized by a dense network of drainages and named canyons, such as Schoolhouse Canyon and Tinroof Canyon, which carve through the plateau. Water sources are critical landmarks in this environment, including Willow Spring and Yellow Jacket Spring.

A system of forest and county roads, including Bear Creek Rd and Yellow Jacket Rd, provides access across the complex topography. The map illustrates a region managed for natural resources, where terrain features like Swiss Flat and Ridenor Canyon serve as primary points of orientation. The drainage patterns of Owings Cr and W Birch Cr highlight the watershed's role in shaping the local land use and boundaries.
