2023 Map of Godman Spring

About this map

Kendall Skyline Road winds through the high ridges of the Blue Mountains, serving as a central artery for this remote portion of the Umatilla National Forest. The landscape is defined by its dramatic verticality, where prominent features like Sugarloaf and Fuzzy Butte rise above deep drainages. A network of trails, including the Middle Point Ridge Trl and Sawtooth Trl, connects various mountain springs such as Godman Spring and the curiously named Stayawhile Spring. The southern portion of the map transitions into the Wenaha-Tucannon Wilderness, a region where the terrain is dominated by steep-walled canyons and ridges like Beaver Ridge and Dexter Ridge. This 2023 survey illustrates a wilderness preserved for its natural state, showing a complex hydrography of creeks like Rock Creek and Preacher Creek that feed into the larger North Fork Wenaha River system.
