About this map

Whitman National Forest dominates this mountain landscape in northeastern Oregon, where the Grande Ronde River carves a deep path through the timbered terrain. The geography is defined by high elevations like Coleman Ridge and numerous water sources including Spring Creek, Bear Creek, and Badger Spring. This mid-century survey illustrates the vital transportation corridors required to navigate the Blue Mountains, showing the Union Pacific line running parallel to Canyon Creek.

Local development is concentrated near water and rail, evidenced by the Red Bridge State Park and the isolated Standley Cabin. An Old Railroad Grade and various Jeep Trails suggest the region's history of logging and resource access. The infrastructure of the era is represented by the Glover Interchange and a prominent Pipeline, marking the intersection of natural beauty and industrial utility in Union County.
