About this map

Umatilla National Forest encompasses the high country of Columbia County, where the North Fork Touchet River and Little Tucannon River carve deep drainage patterns through the landscape. This 1967 survey, with revisions added through the early 1980s, details the remote network of resource roads and springs that supported mountain activity. Prominent landmarks such as Kendall Monument and Mountain Top provide survey control points above the steep descent into Spoonamore Canyon.

Camp Mead sits along the river fork, a centralized location for those navigating the rugged terrain. The map records numerous family-named and geographically specific features, from the cascading Hompigg Falls to high-elevation water sources like Martin Spring, Gilbreath Spring, and San Sousi Spring. Chase Mountain and Middle Point Ridge dominate the southern portion of the quadrangle, illustrating the complex ridgelines accessible via Skyline Road.
