About this map

Medical Springs and Pondosa serve as the primary landmarks in this high-altitude landscape of the Whitman National Forest in Union County. The topography is defined by significant elevations such as Reeves Mtn and Frazier Mtn, while the drainage network is anchored by Catherine Creek and its diverse tributaries, including Milk Creek and Cusick Creek. The placement of Fisk Reservoir illustrates mid-century water management in this timber-rich region.

Transportation throughout the area relies heavily on a network of unpaved paths, labeled as Jeep Trail and Trail, which snake through the national forest boundaries. Along the southern corridor, Beagle Road provides a more established route toward the local settlements. Notable family or local identifiers appear in the naming of features like McCurry Creek and Bazine Creek, offering valuable clues for genealogists and local historians tracing land usage and early habitation in this part of Oregon.
