1994 Map of Craig Mountain

About this map

Craig Mountain dominates the landscape south of the Grande Ronde Valley, where the transition from high ridgelines to fertile valley floors is defined by numerous springs and seasonal waterways. At the northern foot of the mountain, the Hot Lake settlement and its namesake hot springs sit near the edge of the Ladd Marsh Game Management Area, a preserved wetland complex critical to the local ecology. The map reveals the historical transport infrastructure of Union County, tracing an Old Railroad Grade that winds through the upper elevations, signaling the importance of timber or early rail routes before modern realignments.
