About this map

Umatilla National Forest dominates this topographic survey of the Blue Mountains region in southeastern Washington. The landscape is defined by the deep dissection of high ridges, where the North Fork Touchet River and the Little Tucannon River have carved prominent drainages. The Washington-Columbia Co. line traverses the high ground, passing near the Kendall Monument on Mountain Top.

High-altitude transit is marked by the winding Kendall Skyline Road and various jeep trails that skirt the edges of Eckler Mountain and Chase Mountain. The map reveals a network of remote water sources and landmarks vital to local navigation, including Honeypega Falls and numerous named seeps like Gilbreath Spring and Midway Spring. This terrain reflects the area's history of forest management and fire lookout accessibility during the late 1960s.
