2023 Map of Meacham Lake

About this map

Meacham sits as the primary settlement on this portion of the Blue Mountains, where the landscape is defined by the high ridges and deep canyons of the Umatilla National Forest. The geography is shaped by the drainage systems of Meacham Creek and McKay Creek, with prominent landforms like Blue Kettle Ridge and Salmon Back Ridge dividing the territory. Small water sources and localized improvements such as Folsoms Spring, Snipe Spring, and Forks Tank appear alongside forest development roads, indicating the management of these timberlands. Transport history is visible in the alignment of Old US Hwy 30, which follows the natural corridors through Railroad Canyon and along Tod Creek. This modern survey also documents the eastern reaches of the Whitman National Forest and the transition into Union Co at the quadrangle's eastern edge.
