About this map

Collins Butte serves as a prominent landmark in this section of the Umatilla National Forest, where the high-altitude landscape is defined by a series of ridges and deep drainages. The area is marked by numerous water sources critical for the local ecosystem and historical land use, including Long Prairie Reservoir and Aspen Reservoir. The terrain transitions from the elevations of High Spring Ridge and Sourdough Ridge into recessed areas such as Devils Den and Dixon Basin.

A network of forest development roads, such as Nat For Dev Rd 2140 and Henery Creek Rd, provides access through the timbered tracts and open spaces of Long Prairie. These routes follow the natural topography, tracing the paths of Wheeler Cr and Henry Cr. The presence of several named springs, including Yellowjacket Spring and Mill Canyon Spring, indicates the reliable water points that have historically supported forestry and grazing activities in this part of Wheeler County.
