About this map

The Grande Ronde River carves through the northern reaches of this terrain, where its designated status as the Grande Ronde Wild and Scenic River protects the riparian corridor. Spanning the boundary between Umatilla National Forest and Wallowa National Forest, the landscape is defined by a network of high-elevation openings including Newman Meadows, Brown Meadows, and Grove Meadow. These natural clearings served as vital landmarks for early forest management and transit through the Blue Mountains.

A complex drainage system feeds the river from the south, primarily through Deep Creek, Grossman Creek, and Clear Creek. The inclusion of Ferguson Spring and the prominent lookout at Indian Point provides essential points of reference for those studying the hydrography and topography of the Union and Wallowa County border. The map also details forest infrastructure like Nat For Dev Rd 8260, reflecting the contemporary management of these public lands.
