2017 Map of Meacham Lake

About this map

Umatilla National Forest and Whitman National Forest converge in this high-elevation landscape within Umatilla and Union counties. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent ridges and drainage basins, including Blue Kettle Ridge, Salmon Back Ridge, and Johnson Ridge. Water sources are scattered throughout the timbered slopes, ranging from Meacham Lake in the north to isolated points like Folsoms Spring, Snipe Spring, and the Forks Tank. The map documents a complex network of forest development roads, such as Johnson Tower Rd and Nat For Dev Rd 350, which provide access to deep incisions like Railroad Canyon and Red Spring Canyon. Historically significant transportation routes are evident in the east, where Old US Hwy 30 and Summit Rd navigate the divide between the Meacham Cr and McKay Cr watersheds.
