About this map

The Umatilla National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape where the boundaries of Morrow Co and Grant Co meet. The terrain is characterized by a complex system of deep drainage basins, most notably where the North Fork John Day River and the Middle Fork John Day River converge into the main branch of the John Day River. This confluence represents a critical hydrological junction in the region, surrounded by prominent peaks such as Slickear Mtn and Murphy Mtn. The map reveals a remote environment shaped by seasonal watercourses like Potamus Creek and Elder Creek, which carve out numerous named passages including Slickear Canyon and Wrightman Canyon. Navigational waypoints such as Fourmile Gap and Twomile Gap indicate the historical routes through the rugged divide between the various river forks.
