About this map

The Grande Ronde River carves a deep, winding path through the borderlands of Washington and Oregon, serving as a primary geographic anchor for this 1970s survey. The landscape is defined by the transition from the high, wooded elevations of the Umatilla National Forest and Fields Spring State Park down to the steep drainage systems of Box Canyon and Deep Canyon. Evidence of land management and recreation is visible through the Deer Creek Trail and various unnamed jeep trails that traverse the ridges.

Local navigation and utility are noted through specialized landmarks such as the Kuhn Landing Strip located near the riverbank and a Borrow Pit near the state park. Significant topographical features like Puffer Butte, Haffelfinger Ridge, and Benson Ridge provide a clear picture of the dramatic elevation changes that characterize the Asotin County and Wallowa County line. Numerous water sources, including Marengo Spring and Pintler Creek, dot the terrain, illustrating the natural irrigation patterns of the high plateau.
