2017 Map of Pinkham Butte

About this map

Umatilla National Forest dominates this section of the Blue Mountains, where the border of Garfield and Asotin counties bisects a high-elevation landscape of deep drainages and narrow crests. The topography is defined by the headwaters of the Tucannon River and the various forks of Asotin Creek, which have carved out distinctive formations such as Pinkham Butte and the evocatively named Devils Tailbone Ridge. This 2017 data shows a land primarily managed for forestry and conservation, where access is provided by a network of National Forest Development Roads and rugged footpaths like the Pinkham Trail and the N Fork Asotin Creek Tr. Notable landmarks such as Jump Off Joe Point and Hard-to-get-to Ridge indicate the challenging nature of the terrain, while numerous water sources like Wick iup Spring and Frying Pan Spring suggest its importance for wildlife and livestock management in this part of Washington.
