About this map

Umatilla National Forest encompasses the majority of this landscape, where the high country of the Blue Mountains is defined by prominent landforms like Collins Butte and High Spring Ridge. The terrain is deeply incised by drainages such as Stahl Canyon and Dixon Basin, creating a complex network of ridges and draws. Water management in this high-elevation environment is evidenced by the presence of the Long Prairie Reservoir and Aspen Reservoir, alongside numerous named springs like Collins Butte Spring and Flatiron Spring.

Logging and forest management infrastructure is visible through an extensive system of forest development roads, including Kinzva Rd and Kahler Basin Rd. The map reveals the administrative boundaries between Morrow and Wheeler counties, crossing through the northern sections near Brown Cr. Local topographic identifiers like Sourdough Ridge and the evocatively named Devils Den provide specific reference points for navigating this heavily timbered region of north-central Oregon.
