About this map

Umatilla National Forest encompasses the southern half of this landscape, where the Tucannon River flows through a series of prominent ridges and drainages. The area is defined by its numerous watering points and seasonal camps, such as Powell Camp and Ruchert Camp, which served as critical nodes for forest management and local activity. The geography is characterized by high, flat-topped features like Elk Flat and several named ridges, including the appropriately named Hard-to-get-to Ridge and Simpson Ridge.

Water sources are exceptionally dense here, with dozens of named springs such as Stentz Spring, Schneckloth Spring, and Teal Spring punctuating the terrain. These springs provided vital resources for wildlife and early travelers navigating the complex network of forest roads, including the Pomeroy Grouse Flat Rd. Landmarks such as the Devils Eyebrow and Sunflower Flat highlight the varied topography that sits along the border of Columbia and Garfield counties.
