2020 Map of Drumhill Ridge

About this map

Umatilla National Forest and Whitman National Forest converge in this high-altitude landscape of the Blue Mountains, where the boundary between Umatilla and Union counties traverses complex ridges and deep canyons. The map documents an intricate network of timber and recreational access routes, including the Whitman Route and the Evans Ohv trail system, alongside specialized paths like the Mt Emily Snowmobile route. Named landmarks such as Fiddlers Hell and Sugarloaf Mtn rise above a terrain punctuated by vital water sources like Sacajawea Spring and Daniel Spring. The presence of features like Standfield Meadow and Three Cabin Ridge suggests a history of high-country grazing and seasonal habitation, while the drainage of Middle Fork Mount Emily Creek and Five Points Creek defines the local watershed during this modern era of forest management.
