About this map

Elk Grove and the surrounding high country of the Blue Mountains are captured in this 2011 survey, showing a landscape defined by deep drainages and cattle-ranching meadows. The North Fork John Day River cuts across the northern edge of the sheet, joined by Sulphur Gulch and Buckaroo Creek in a complex hydrologic network. The map reveals the intricate network of forest and county roads, such as Ritter-Dale Rd and Bone Point Rd, that provide access to the high ridges and canyons.

Water management in this arid upland is evident through features like Rush Pond and Gilson Pond, while the topography is anchored by prominent landmarks including Meadow Brook Summit and Bone Point. From the depths of Tamarack Canyon to the open expanse of Litch Meadow, the map documents the geographic character of this portion of Umatilla County, Oregon, including several smaller tributaries like Twelvemile Creek and Granite Creek.
