1967 Map of Stentz Spring

About this map

The Umatilla National Forest dominates this landscape in the Blue Mountains, showing a network of remote camps and forest service infrastructure in the late 1960s. The map highlights the rugged drainage of the Tucannon River and the Asotin Creek North Fork, where numerous family-named springs like Stentz Spring, Schneckloth Spring, and Sweeney Spring suggest early livestock grazing and water rights. Historical landmarks of the era include the Lookout Tower and Clearwater Guard Station, while recreation is evidenced by established sites such as Powell Camp and Ruchert Camp. The southeastern portion is marked by the Wenaha-Tucannon Wilderness, indicating the preservation of this backcountry terrain before modern development. Notable geological formations like the Devils Eyebrow and names like Hard-to-get-to Ridge reflect the challenging geography faced by travelers along the Pack Tr.
