About this map

Umatilla National Forest encompasses the entirety of this topographic study, revealing a landscape defined by deep canyons and prominent ridges within the Blue Mountains. The northern portion is dominated by the Tucannon River and its tributary, the Little Tucannon River, which carve through dramatic terrain near School Canyon and Grub Canyon. This 2017 survey details an extensive network of footpaths and forest roads necessary for navigating the steep elevation changes, including the Rattlesnake Trail and the Panjab Trail.

Named landmarks such as Al Williams Ridge, Big Turkey Tail, and Tallow Flat offer specific reference points for those tracking historical land use or backcountry travel routes. Dozens of isolated water sources, from Cascara Spring to Dunlap Spring, are meticulously plotted across the ridges, highlighting the critical nature of these features in the high country. The map also captures the distinct boundary of The Wheatfield on the northeastern plateau, providing a sharp contrast to the forested drainages of Panjab Creek and Mill Canyon.
