1995 Map of Dale

About this map

The North Fork John Day River cuts through the northern reaches of this landscape where Dale and the Dale Work Center serve as primary points of human settlement. Established as a protected corridor, the Ukiah-Dale Forest Wayside borders the river, providing a gateway to the expansive Umatilla National Forest. The map details a transition between high ridges like Case Ridge and deep drainages, specifically Deep Canyon and Spring Canyon. The presence of Heads Water Tank and Road Camp Spring highlights the critical infrastructure required for forest management and local travel in this mountainous area. Further south, the terrain opens into high-elevation flats such as Howard Meadows and Duff Meadows, while Meadow Brook Falls marks a significant drop in the local hydrology.
