About this map

The Grande Ronde River cuts a deep, winding path through this corner of the Pacific Northwest, marking the rugged boundary between Washington and Oregon. Located primarily within Asotin County, the landscape is defined by the high elevations of the Umatilla National Forest and a series of dramatic ridges, including Sawtooth Ridge, Morrow Ridge, and Hanson Ridge. The small settlement of Mountain View serves as a focal point for the upland plateau known as The Bench.

Genealogists and local historians can trace legacy sites like Mountain View Cem and Autrey Cem, or follow the high-country landmarks of early ranching and transit such as Indian Tom Corral and the Jeep Trail. The map reveals a high density of water sources critical for life in this vertical terrain, naming dozens of discrete points like Seven Sisters Spring and Chite Spring that once supported the isolated mountain community.
