About this map

Granite Meadows and Albee Meadow sit within a high-elevation landscape of the Umatilla National Forest in Umatilla County. This modern survey reveals a complex drainage system defined by deep gulches and canyons, including California Gulch and Coyote Gulch, which feed into larger watercourses like West Birch Creek. The presence of the Warner Family Cem in the northwest corner and the isolated Rowley Cabin to the south suggests a legacy of homesteading and remote ranching in these timbered uplands.

Prominent landforms like Table Mtn are flanked by distinctive shelf-like features known as Lower Bench and Upper Bench. The map records numerous water sources vital for forest life and livestock, from Hascall Spring to the headwaters of Bear-Wallow Creek. This terrain, organized by the Public Land Survey System into townships like t3s r32e, remains largely undeveloped, served only by routes such as W Birch Creek Rd and Co 1407 RD.
