About this map

Eden Ridge and the surrounding high plateaus of Grouse Flat and Moore Flat dominate this 1967 landscape, where the Wenaha State Wildlife Area intersects the Umatilla National Forest. The map documents a sparsely populated but active forest management and recreation zone, anchored by the Eden Community Hall and the nearby Eden Cem. The terrain is deeply incised by the canyon of the Wenaha River and the sweeping bend of the Grande Ronde River at the southern boundary.

Fire lookouts and back-country access are central to this era, exemplified by the Hoodoo Lookout Tower standing atop Hoodoo Ridge. A network of pack routes, such as the Smooth Ridge Trail, and scattered remote outposts like the Guard Station near Long Meadows illustrate how the region was navigated before more extensive modern road development. Notable water sources such as Dan Gold Spring and Fenton Spring are meticulously marked, serving as vital landmarks for those traversing the wilderness areas.
