About this map

The Grande Ronde River carves a deep path through this portion of the Whitman National Forest, where the settlements of Hilgard and Perry sit along the winding river corridor. The landscape is defined by a complex network of drainages and family-named canyons, such as Blacksmith Canyon and Peach Canyon, that descend from high points like Mahogany Mtn.

Genealogists and local historians will find the Hilgard Cem northwest of the main settlement, while recreational and topographic interest centers on the cluster of upland water bodies to the southeast, including Twin Lake, Hunter Lake, and the larger Morgan Lake. The transit network of the era is represented by forest roads and named routes like Glass Hill Rd and Morgan Lake Rd, which navigate the steep terrain between Whiskey Cr and Graves Cr.
