About this map

Umatilla National Forest encompasses the majority of this high-elevation landscape, where the boundary between Umatilla and Grant counties follows the crests of the Blue Mountains. The drainage patterns defined by Tamarack Canyon and Bone Canyon feed the North Fork John Day River in the north, while the southern reaches of the quadrangle slope toward the Middle Fork John Day R.

Settlement is sparse, represented by Elk Grove and seasonal landmarks like Rush Pond and Gilson Pond. The terrain is characterized by named peaks and ridges such as Meadow Brook Summit and Bone Pt, offering a detailed view of the remote logging and forest service roads that crisscross the backcountry. Numerous drainages, including Twelvemile Creek and Granite Creek, illustrate the complex hydrology of this part of the Oregon wilderness in the late twentieth century.
