About this map

Umatilla National Forest encompasses the southern half of this landscape, where a high concentration of water sources defines the local geography. Numerous named springs, including Rose Spring, Government Spring, Oliphant Spring, and Lanzie Spring, suggest a history of vital water access for both wildlife and early travelers through these uplands. This network of springs is situated among prominent relief features such as Abels Point and Scoggin Ridge, which separate the various drainages of Pataha Creek and Cummings Creek.

To the north, the terrain transitions into a series of named ridges and gulches, including Tatman Mtn and Calloway Hill. The distribution of roads like Peola - Iron Springs Road and Bosley Grade Rd follows the natural contours of the land, providing a record of the high-country transit routes between Garfield and Columbia counties. Notable landmarks like Arbothknott Canyon and Stevens Ridge further define the complex drainage patterns of the Dry Pataha Creek basin.
