About this map

The boundary between the Umatilla National Forest and the Whitman National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape in the mid-1960s. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of drainages, most notably McIntyre Creek and McCoy Creek, which carve deep canyons through the timbered highlands. At higher elevations, the Flat Lake Lookout Tower overlooks Flat Lake and the rugged topography of Dark Canyon.

Evidence of historical land use and early transportation routes is scattered throughout the forest, including an Old Railroad Grade and the Meadow Cow Camp Grade winding along Meadow Creek. The inclusion of the Old Indian Treaty Bdy in the northwest corner highlights early jurisdictional lines that predated the established county limits between Umatilla and Union counties. The map also traces the Grande Ronde River as it passes through the southeastern corner near Winter Creek.
