About this map

Umatilla National Forest lands dominate this high-country survey of northeast Oregon, where the landscape is defined by the deep incisions of multiple drainages. The namesake Owens Butte rises above the junction of Owens Creek and other smaller tributaries, while the southern half of the map is shaped by the east-west corridor of Camas Creek. This waterway features a technical Gaging Station and a nearby Quarry, indicating the intersection of natural hydrology and resource management.

Outdoor recreation and education are represented by the Bear Wallow Creek Interpretive Trail in the eastern section. The map reveals a complex network of forest service roads and trails that traverse the various forks of Hideaway Creek, Cable Creek, and Mud Creek. This 1990s record captures the region as a managed forest environment where topographic relief dictates both transportation routes and the preservation of wild waterways.
