About this map

The high ridges of the Umatilla National Forest dominate this 1967 survey, where the border between Washington and Columbia counties meets the line for Wallowa County. The landscape is defined by a dense network of water sources vital for high-country survival, including Hatfield Spring, McBain Spring, and the remote Rattlesnake Spring.

Elevations range from the prominent Oregon Butte, which features a noted Lookout, to the broad opening of Ant Flat in the south. This terrain is traversed primarily by a network of primitive routes, including the Pack Trail and Jeep Trail, reflecting a mid-century wilderness accessible only by foot, horse, or specialized vehicle. Major geological features like French Ridge and Yearling Ridge dictate the flow of drainages such as Panjab Creek and Crooked Creek.
