About this map

Umatilla National Forest dominates this section of Northeast Oregon, where the rugged drainages of the Blue Mountains meet the Grande Ronde River. The landscape is defined by its complex hydrology, with numerous seasonal and perennial water sources like Alpine Spring, Lady Spring, and Darrs Spring supporting the local ecosystem. Notable geographic features such as Moon Canyon and the high-elevation Galloway Meadows illustrate the diverse terrain of the Unf lands.

A network of forest development roads, including Nat For Dev RD 090, provides access to these remote areas, which are characterized by steep ridges and deep creek beds. Several significant waterways, such as Lookingglass Cr, Eagle Cr, and Partridge Creek, carve through the forest, eventually feeding into the larger river systems. This map captures the intersection of Union and Wallowa counties in an era of managed timberlands and protected wilderness.
