About this map

Whitman National Forest land dominates this 2017 survey of Union County, Oregon, where the headwaters of several drainages carve deep into the high country. The Grande Ronde River flows through the central portion of the map, fed by a network of seasonal and perennial streams including Dry Cr, Spring Cr, and Bear Cr. This landscape is characterized by its steep-sided ridges and narrow valleys, most notably the prominent Coleman Ridge and the aptly named Railroad Canyon in the northeast corner.

Transport and access are defined by a network of forest development roads, such as Nat For Dev Rd 21 and Nat For Dev Rd 700, which provide the primary infrastructure for this forested terrain. Small, localized features like Badger Spring indicate the essential water sources for livestock or wildlife in these higher elevations. The map provides a clear picture of how modern forest management and natural topography intersect in the Blue Mountains region.
