About this map

Peola sits at the center of this high-plateau landscape where the Blue Mountains transition into the rolling breaks of the Snake River drainage. The 2017 survey details a region defined by deep drainage gulches and prominent ridges, including Knotgrass Ridge and Tam Tam Ridge, which descend toward the surrounding canyons. Local history is anchored by the Pioneer Cem near the intersection of Peola Rd and Ruchert Rd, marking the enduring presence of early families in this remote corner of Garfield County.

The southern portion of the map is dominated by the Umatilla National Forest, where a complex network of forest development roads like Nat For Dev Rd 300 provides access to the high ridges and springs. Water sources are critical here, with numerous named features such as Wolf Spring, Pow Wah Kee Cr, and small alpine bodies like Beaver Lake and Deer Lake punctuating the dry, upland terrain along the Garfield and Asotin County line.
