2020 Map of Deep Creek

About this map

The Grande Ronde River carves a deep, winding corridor through this remote intersection of northeastern Oregon, where the Umatilla National Forest meets the Wallowa National Forest. This protected wilderness area is characterized by high meadows and a complex drainage system, including the federally designated Grande Ronde Wild and Scenic River segment. Several high-elevation clearings such as Newman Meadows, Brown Meadows, and Grove Meadow punctuate the timbered slopes, serving as critical landmarks in an otherwise roadless expanse. Key water sources like Ferguson Spring and tributaries such as Deep Cr, Grossman Cr, and Clear Cr define the hydrological pattern of this high country. The map also delineates the jurisdictional boundary between Union Co and Wallowa Co, following the rugged terrain of the Blue Mountains region.
