About this map

Umatilla National Forest and the Wenaha Wilderness dominate this high-elevation landscape along the boundary of Washington and Oregon. The terrain is defined by prominent peaks and ridges, including Deadman Peak, Griffin Peak, and Squaw Peak, with the notable Table Rock standing as a central landmark. The drainage system is intricate, with the South Fork Touchet River and Mill Creek carving deep valleys through the forested highlands.

A network of historical access routes, such as the Skyline Road and numerous pack trails like the Newby Pack Trail, illustrates the remote management and recreational history of the Blue Mountains. These trails connect isolated spots like Indian Camp and vital water sources such as Switchback Spring and Cold Spring, providing a clear record of the area's backcountry infrastructure before later wilderness designations limited motorized access.
