2017 Map of Hopkins Ridge

About this map

The Tucannon Fish Hatchery serves as a focal point in this 2017 landscape where the Tucannon River carves through the transition between high ridges and deep canyons. The northern portion of the quadrangle is defined by steep agricultural and grazing grades, including Hartsock Grade Rd and Blind Grade Rd, while the southern half transitions into the protected timberlands of the Umatilla National Forest. A string of managed water bodies—including Blue Lake, Rainbow Lake, Deer Lake, and Watson Lake—line the river valley, providing a distinct contrast to the surrounding high points like Goat Mtn and Maloney Mtn. This area reflects the modern management of the Blue Mountains, balancing forest service access via routes like Nat For Dev Rd 080 with the traditional canyon-and-ridge geography of eastern Washington.
