About this map

Whitman National Forest and Umatilla National Forest dominate this 1951 study, revealing a landscape defined by resource management and early high-country industry. The network of forest service infrastructure is prominent, featuring the Forks Guard Station, Battle Creek Guard Station, and Desolation Guard Station positioned to monitor the vast timberlands. The mining history of the region is etched into the terrain at sites like Welch Creek Mine and Desolation Mine, while the presence of a pipe line near Olive Lake and its Upper Reservoir suggests sophisticated water and resource transport through the mountains.
