About this map

Umatilla National Forest dominates this landscape in eastern Oregon, where a complex network of high-country drainages carves through the terrain. The central prominence of Owens Butte overlooks the confluence of numerous waterways, including Owens Creek and Camas Creek. These streams dictate the path of local infrastructure, with routes like Camas Creek Rd and Cable Ck Rd following the natural contours of the valley floors.

Industrial and forest management access is evident through the naming of various National Forest development roads and county routes such as Hidaway Springs Rd. The map documents a rugged interior region defined by its water system, tracing the courses of Lane Creek, Mud Creek, and Pine Creek as they weave through the timbered sections of the Blue Mountains. This modern survey provides a clear view of the drainage patterns and access points vital for land management and backcountry exploration.
