1967 Map of Godman Spring

About this map

The Umatilla National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape on the border of Washington and Oregon, where deep canyons carved by the North Fork Touchet River and the North Fork Wenaha River meet prominent ridges. In the late 1960s, this area served as a critical hub for forest management and backcountry recreation, anchored by the Godman Guard Sta and the nearby Godman Spring Campground. The map reveals a network of primitive access points like the Kendall Skyline Road and numerous pack trails that connect remote outposts such as Touchet Corral and Lady Camp. Topographical features like the expansive Burnt Flat and the dramatic Sawtooth Ridge emphasize the isolation of this interior forest region, where named water sources like Cavalier Spring and Wildcat Spring were essential landmarks for travelers.
