About this map

Umatilla National Forest defines the topography of this high-plateau region where the state lines of Oregon and Washington meet. The landscape is carved by deep watercourses, most notably the Wenaha River and the Grande Ronde River, which create dramatic drops from flat-topped landmarks like Eden Ridge and Grouse Flat. This 2017 edition shows the persistence of early cattle-range and forestry infrastructure, including the Eden Cem located near the headwaters of Cabin Cr.

A complex network of specialized routes such as the Cat Track Trail, Smooth Ridge Trail, and the Wenaha River Trail suggest a terrain better navigated by foot or hoof than by modern vehicles. These trails connect remote points like Moore Flat and the Wenaha Breaks, providing a detailed look at the geographic isolation and natural drainage patterns of Patterson Ridge and Hoodoo Ridge before they descend into Cross Canyon or Ward Canyon.
