About this map

Umatilla National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape in northeastern Oregon, where specialized forest management infrastructure like the Bear Wallow Guard Station and a complex pole line network appear during the late 1960s. The map documents the former location of Pine Grove (Site) along the upper reaches of West Birch Creek, offering a glimpse into the changing settlement patterns of Umatilla County.

The terrain is characterized by a series of distinct plateaus and benches, including California Flat, Sagebrush Flat, and South Prairie. These flatlands are dissected by numerous drainage systems such as Coyote Gulch and Cold Spring Canyon. Local historical interest is anchored by the Lucky Strike landmark and the pastoral reaches of Albee Meadow, while a network of jeep trails indicates the remote nature of the area during this period.
