About this map

Umatilla National Forest defines the character of this landscape in Garfield County, where a network of springs and ridgelines once supported early regional travel and forest management. Named points like Stentz Spring and Schneckloth Spring indicate the importance of reliable water sources across the higher elevations of Welch Ridge and Unfried Ridge. The topography is shaped by the Tucannon River and numerous drainages including Charley Cr and N Fork Asotin Cr, which carve deep canyons between features such as Bear Cave Ridge and Simpson Ridge.

Modern recreation and historic access points are visible through the extensive trail systems, including the Tucannon Trail and Bear Creek Trail. Isolated locations like Elk Flat and the humorously named Devils Eyebrow provide specific coordinates for those researching the geography of the Blue Mountains. The presence of Sunflower Flat and Bear Wallow suggests the seasonal natural features that have long drawn explorers and foresters to this part of Washington.
