2023 Map of Deadman Peak

About this map

Deadman Peak stands as a central high point in this section of the Umatilla National Forest, overlooking a landscape defined by the deep drainage basins of the South Fork Touchet River and Mill Creek. The map shows a transition from the forest into the Wenaha-Tucannon Wilderness in the southeastern quadrant, where the terrain becomes increasingly complex around Table Rock and Wenaha Peak. A network of high-elevation trails, such as the Intake/Deadman Peak Trl and Skyline Trl, suggests a legacy of fire lookout access and forest management. The presence of the Kendall Skyline Road and family-named summits like Newby Mtn and Robinette Mtn reflects the historical importance of the Blue Mountains for grazing, water resource management, and timber access. Several springs, including Blakely Spring and Cold Spring, provide critical water sources in these higher elevations.
