About this map

Lehman Springs and the surrounding high country of the Blue Mountains define this landscape, located along the border of Whitman National Forest and Umatilla National Forest. The map detail captures a remote area of Oregon characterized by a dense network of forest development roads, such as Nat For Dev Rd 2110 and Nat For Dev Rd 040, which facilitate movement between high-altitude meadows and creek drainages. Significant landmarks include the expansive Nelson Meadows and French Corral Meadow, reflecting a landscape used for seasonal grazing and timber management.

Water sources are central to the geography here, with Camas Cr, Lehman Cr, and the appropriately named Butcherknife Cr carving through the terrain. The presence of Hidaway Springs in the southwest and the namesake springs in the east suggest the historical importance of these natural water points for travelers and forest workers navigating the steep ridges, including the prominent Butcher Knife formation.
