1967 Map of Lehman Springs

About this map

Lehman Springs sits at the heart of this high-elevation landscape, where geothermal activity meets the drainage systems of the Blue Mountains. The terrain is defined by the headwaters of Camas Creek, which is fed by an intricate network of mountain springs including Hot Spring, Warm Spring Creek, and Hidaway Springs. This area, managed between the Whitman National Forest and Umatilla National Forest, shows a history of resource extraction and transit, evidenced by an Old Railroad Grade winding through the eastern sections near the Union and Umatilla County border. The presence of a Gaging Station and Frazier Guard Station underscores the importance of water management and forest service oversight in this remote interior region during the late 1960s.
