About this map

The Grande Ronde River flows through this portion of the Blue Mountains, creating a complex drainage system characterized by the East Fork Grande Ronde River and numerous high-country meadows. The landscape is defined by the three forks of its namesake waterway: Limber Jim Creek, North Fork Limber Jim Creek, and South Fork Limber Jim Creek. These streams converge amidst a series of alpine clearings, most notably Limber Jim Meadow and the expansive Round Meadow to the south.

Local resource management is evidenced by the network of mountain roads, including the primary Clear Creek Rd which follows the path of Clear Creek. Smaller drainages such as Meadowbrook Creek, Muir Creek, and Little Meadow Creek feed the larger river system, while named landmarks like Erickson Lake and the steep incisions of Deadwood Gulch and Tanner Gulch provide distinct geographic reference points for this high-elevation Oregon territory.
