2020 Map of Saddle Butte

About this map

Umatilla National Forest dominates the high-elevation terrain of Asotin and Garfield Counties in this modern topographical study. The landscape is defined by a series of prominent finger ridges, including Ray Ridge, Coyote Ridge, and Monument Ridge, which are separated by steep drainages like Coyote Gulch and Go Devil Canyon. The map reveals a complex network of historic and modern routes through the forest, such as the Wenatchee Trail and Lake Ridge Trail, which follow the natural contours of the land. Water sources are critical landmarks in this environment, with numerous springs such as Misery Spring, Saddle Spring, and Hunt Spring providing vital points of reference. The presence of Tule Lake and named peaks like Saddle Butte and Mt Horrible illustrates the varied and challenging topography of the Blue Mountains region, highlighting the area's use for forestry and recreation.
