About this map

Little Catherine Meadows and Billy Small Meadow are key landmarks in this high-elevation corner of the Whitman National Forest within Union County. The landscape is defined by the headwaters and drainage networks of Little Catherine Cr, Lick Cr, and the main stem of Catherine Creek in the south. These mountain watersheds are accessed by historic timber and forest routes like Nat For Dev Rd 2038 and Lodgepole.

High country peaks such as Bald Mtn, South Baldy, and Crib Point tower over the valley floors, while named springs like Bearwallow Spring and Ames Spring indicate vital water sources for local wildlife and historic grazing. The presence of Elmer Ditch in the northwest suggests a history of water diversion for lower-elevation agricultural needs, illustrating how this upland wilderness has long supported the surrounding High Valley communities.
