About this map

Stentz Spring and the Tucannon River corridor define this high-country landscape on the border of Columbia and Garfield Counties. This map documents a complex network of forest resources and wilderness management within the Umatilla National Forest and the Wenaha-Tucannon Wilderness. The topography is marked by named ridges such as Welch Ridge and Unfried Ridge, which separate deep drainages like Pataha Creek and Charley Creek.

Historically significant for its water sources, the area is dotted with numerous named springs, including Little Bear Wallow Spring and Schneckloth Spring. The presence of established trails like the Mt Misery Trl and Tucannon Trail alongside forest roads like Iron Spring Road indicates a landscape shaped by both early resource access and modern conservation. Distinctive local landmarks like the Devils Eyebrow and Sunflower Flat reflect the vernacular naming traditions of the Blue Mountains region.
