1995 Map of Meadow Brook Summit

About this map

The North Fork John Day River and the Middle Fork John Day River define the hydraulic character of this high-elevation landscape on the border of Umatilla and Grant counties. Much of the terrain is managed within the Umatilla National Forest, where steep drainages like Sulphur Gulch, Tamarack Canyon, and Bone Canyon provide natural corridors through the ridges. The survey identifies critical local water sources including Rush Pond, Gilson Pond, and dozens of scattered springs and stock ponds vital for land management. Resource extraction is evident through the presence of a Quarry and Gravel Pit near the prominent Meadow Brook Summit. The map serves as a record of the complex network of forest roads and light-duty trails that connect landmarks like Bone Point and the groves of Elk Grove during the mid-1990s.
