About this map

The high plateau and canyon country of the Blue Mountains define this portion of the Umatilla National Forest along the border of Morrow and Grant counties. Named topographic features such as Johnny Cake Mountain, Neal Butte, and Mahogany Flat rise above a complex system of drainage basins. The landscape is deeply dissected by numerous creeks, including Little Wall Cr and Big Wall Cr, which carve through places like Boneyard Canyon and Mulligan Stew Canyon before reaching the North Fork John Day River.

Remote springs such as Buckhorn Spring and Tonto Spring provide vital water points in this arid, high-elevation environment. The map details the network of forest service roads used to navigate the area, including the specifically named Ferry Creek To Top and Top Rd. This survey documents the region's character as a managed wilderness, where natural landforms like Black Rock Canyon and Reade Canyon are the primary landmarks for navigation and land management.
