2013 Map of Peola

About this map

Peola sits at the center of this high-plateau landscape, where the ridge systems of the Blue Mountains transition into deep drainage gulches. The settlement is anchored by local landmarks like the Pioneer Cem and sits just north of the Umatilla National Forest boundary. The terrain is defined by a dense network of seasonal and perennial waters, including Alpowa Cr and Pow-Wah-Kee Cr, which carve through a series of named elevations such as Palmer Ridge and Flerchinger Ridge. This survey documents a complex hydrological system of springs and small lakes, including Wolf Spring, Deer Lake, and Moonshine Spring. South of the main settlement, the Pataha Research Natural Area protects a rugged section of the forest near Beaver Lake, while numerous forest service roads like Nat For Dev Rd 300 provide access to remote reaches like Sourdough Ridge and Government Trail Ridge.
