About this map

Umatilla National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape in the Blue Mountains, where the boundary between Columbia and Garfield counties cuts through a network of ridges and canyons. The topography is defined by prominent elevations such as Huckleberry Butte and Devils Eyebrow, alongside numerous water sources including Stentz Spring and Schneckloth Spring. The drainages of the Tucannon River and Charley Cr create steep relief between named landforms like Unfried Ridge and Lost Point Ridge.

Access throughout this area relies on a system of forest roads and historic paths, including the Tucannon Trail, Lick Trail, and Miner's Ridge Trail. These routes connect remote landmarks like Elk Flat and the aptly named Hard-to-get-to Ridge. The concentration of named springs such as Dodge Spring and Teal Spring suggests the critical importance of these water points for regional forest management and recreation in this part of Washington.
