About this map

The Grande Ronde River winds through the southeastern corner of this mountainous landscape, designated here as part of the Grande Ronde Wild and Scenic River. The terrain is characterized by a series of high-elevation clearings and vital water sources within the Umatilla National Forest, including Fry Meadow, Swikert Meadow, and Kettleson Meadow. These meadows, often situated near the headwaters of drainages like Jarboe Creek and Meadow Creek, reflect the region's history of seasonal grazing and forest management.

High points such as Lookout Mtn provide vantage points over a network of springs, including Sheepherder Spring and Tin Can Spring, which have long served as essential landmarks for travelers and foresters. The map also captures the administrative convergence of the Wallowa National Forest and the Wenaha-Tucannon Wilderness, illustrating the varied conservation statuses applied to the Oregon backcountry.
