2017 Map of Duncan

About this map

Duncan and Smith Gate sit within the high-elevation landscape of the Umatilla National Forest in Umatilla County. The area is defined by the significant drainage of Meacham Cr, which cuts through a series of prominent landforms including Duncan Canyon and Dutchman Canyon. These waterways, including N Fork Meacham Cr and tributaries like Allen Creek, have carved a complex system of ridges such as Gibbon Ridge, Horse Ridge, and N Fork Ridge. The map details a network of forest development roads, such as Co 911 RD and Nat For Dev RD 010, which provide access to these remote reaches. Notable landmarks for navigation or local history include Black Canyon Butte, Wilbur Mtn, and water sources like Buck Spring and Junction Spring, illustrating how this part of the Blue Mountains has been utilized for both forestry and public land management.
