About this map

Umatilla National Forest dominates this mid-1990s landscape, where high ridgelines and deep drainages define the boundary between the Pomeroy and Walla Walla Ranger Districts. The topography is centered on significant elevations like Chase Mountain and Eckler Mountain, with the Kendall Monument marking a prominent point on Mountain Top. These summits provide the headwaters for a network of drainages, including the North Fork Touchet River and the Little Tucannon River.

Tracing the geography reveals several natural springs such as San Souci Spring and Edmiston Spring, which would have been vital water sources for those traveling the Kendall Skyline Road. The presence of Camp Mead near the confluence of Jim Creek and the Touchet River suggests established recreation or seasonal work sites. This survey also records various named canyons like Spoonamore Canyon and unique landmarks like Humpeg Falls, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of the Blue Mountains.
