About this map

Lehman Springs serves as the focal point of this highland survey, situated at the confluence of several vital water sources and thermal activity. The area is defined by the heavy presence of natural springs, including Hot Spring, Lehman Spring, and Bear Wallow Spring, which likely supported early settlement and seasonal grazing. The landscape transitions between the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest and the Umatilla National Forest, following the winding course of Camas Creek and its many tributaries.

Evidence of forestry and local infrastructure is visible through the Frazier Guard Station and a strategically placed Gravel Pit. The map captures the complex drainage patterns of the Blue Mountains region, with Bowman Creek and Butcherknife Creek carving through the terrain. These features, along with specialized sites like French Corral Meadow, illustrate the historical land use for both government forest management and the local ranching economy.
