2020 Map of Huron

About this map

The Oregon Trail Nat'l Historic winds through this high-elevation landscape, tracing a path of American migration across the Blue Mountains. This modern survey captures the complex intersection of the Umatilla National Forest and Whitman National Forest, where the terrain transitions between the steep drainage of Meacham Cr and the flats of Strickland Flat. Local history is preserved at sites like the Rugg Cem and the California Gulch Interp, reflecting the region's ranching and pioneer heritage. The map details a specialized network of winter recreation trails, including the Blue Mtn Big Loop-Xc Ski (Snow) and the Butcher Loop (Snow), highlighting how this timbered backcountry is utilized today. Numerous named water sources, such as Lansing Spring and Nunamaker Pond, point to the essential water management required in this high country near the Umatilla and Union County line.
