2017 Map of Meadow Brook Summit

About this map

The Umatilla National Forest spans the border of Umatilla and Grant counties in this high-altitude landscape of the Blue Mountains. The terrain is defined by dramatic drainage systems, including the North Fork John Day River and the winding course of Twelvemile Cr. High points like Bone Point and the overlook at Shivers Rim provide vantage points across deeply etched features such as Tamarack Canyon and Bone Canyon. This 2017 survey shows a region deeply shaped by its forest roads and water resources, with isolated clearings such as Elk Grove and Litch Meadow appearing as distinctive breaks in the timber. Small bodies of water like Rush Pond and Gilson Pond serve as vital landmarks for those navigating the backcountry routes between Ritter Dale Rd and the Meadow Brook Summit.
