About this map

Whitman National Forest land defines this portion of the Blue Mountains, where high-elevation landmarks like Bald Ridge and Dooley Mtn overlook a complex network of canyons and gulches. The terrain is notably water-rich for the region, marked by numerous named water sources such as Moonshine Spring, Trail Creek Spring, and Rooster Rock Spring. These natural points often served as critical stops for early travelers and forest workers moving through the steep grades between the drainage systems.

Resource extraction and transit leave visible marks on the landscape, specifically at Dooley Summit and the nearby Roadside Rest. Evidence of historical prospecting is scattered throughout the eastern slopes, with several prospects and a Quarry noted near the headwaters of Auburn Creek and Sutton Creek. The map provides a detailed view of the drainage divides where Mill Creek and Cornet Creek descend from the central peaks.
