About this map

Umatilla National Forest encompasses the vast majority of this 1971 terrain, defined by a complex network of ridges and canyons. The landscape is dominated by the massive Smoothing Iron Ridge and Harlow Ridge, which divide deep drainages like Cook Canyon and Horseback Canyon. Water sources are critical landmarks in this environment, with numerous named points such as Warner Springs, Sheriff Spring, and Vogan Spring scattered across the elevations.

Human presence is sparse and primarily utilitarian, indicated by a series of Pack Trails and Jeep Trails that navigate the slopes. Near the confluence of North Fork Asotin Creek and Lick Cr, a dedicated Picnic Area suggests recreational use of the forest. The presence of Ruins and family-named features like Charlie Knight Gulch and Bennett Ridge provides a starting point for researchers tracing early land use and backcountry occupation in Asotin County.
