2020 Map of Diamond Peak

About this map

Umatilla National Forest encompasses this high-elevation landscape, where a dense network of trails and ridges defines the topography along the border of Columbia and Garfield counties. The terrain is anchored by prominent elevations such as Diamond Peak and Bald Butte, with complex drainage systems including the Tucannon River and First Creek. The map reveals an area deeply integrated with Forest Service infrastructure, characterized by long-distance routes like Mt Misery Trail and July Ridge Trail. Numerous water sources, such as Sheephead Spring and Diamond Spring, suggest the critical importance of reliable water for backcountry travel and seasonal resource management in this corner of the Blue Mountains. Significant landmarks like Monument Ridge and Halsey Butte provide orientation points across a landscape of steep descents into Slide Canyon and the Chaparral Basin.
