1995 Map of Pearson Ridge

About this map

Umatilla National Forest and the surrounding high country in eastern Oregon are meticulously documented in this mid-1990s survey. The landscape is defined by the steep drainage systems of Cable Creek and Hidaway Creek, showcasing a remote forest interior managed for both conservation and resource use. The presence of the Pearson Guard Station at the foot of Pearson Ridge highlights the administrative infrastructure of the era, while the expansive North Fork John Day Wilderness occupies the southeastern corner. This map details a complex network of recreational and administrative paths, including the uniquely named Woop-De-Doo Trail and the Switchback Trail, alongside seasonal watering points like White Pine Trough Spring and Weasel Spring. High-altitude openings such as Long Meadows and Roundaway Meadow provide contrast to the timbered slopes, marking this as a vital record of the Blue Mountains region.
