About this map

Starkey and the nearby Camp Elkanah anchor this high-elevation landscape in Union County, where the terrain is defined by the winding course of the Grande Ronde River and its numerous tributaries. The map details a complex network of forest access roads, such as Starkey Rd and Mt Emily-Camp Rd, which navigate the steep topography of Tybow Canyon and Fly Ridge. These routes highlight the area's importance for timber management and backcountry recreation.

Water sources are abundant throughout the quadrangle, evidenced by named features like Time and a Half Spring, McCarty Spring, and Section Line Spring. To the south, the Johnson Rock Lookout Tower stands as a significant landmark for fire surveillance atop Johnson Rock. For those tracing local heritage, the Starkey Cemetery provides a specific point of genealogical interest situated just north of the Meadow Creek drainage.
