About this map

The Grande Ronde River carves a significant path through this corner of Northeast Oregon, where the boundaries of Umatilla National Forest and Wallowa National Forest meet. The landscape is defined by its dramatic drainage systems, with Deep Creek and East Grossman Creek feeding into the larger river valley. Movement through this high-country terrain was primarily facilitated by a network of Jeep Trails that skirt the higher elevations and meadows.

Evidence of seasonal land use appears at Newman Meadows and Brown Meadows, while the presence of a Gravel Pit in the northeast quadrant suggests localized resource extraction during the late 1960s. The map also delineates the precise county line between Union and Wallowa counties, following the high ridges and watercourses. Natural water sources like Ferguson Spring provided essential points of interest for those navigating these remote forest lands.
