About this map

Battle Mountain and the high Sugarbowl Ridge dominate this section of the Umatilla County landscape, where the terrain is defined by a dense network of forest service and logging roads. The map captures a water-rich upland environment characterized by numerous named springs such as Gulliford Spring, Sturdevant Spring, Wolf Spring, and Forest Spring. These water sources feed into the headwaters of several drainages, including Sugarbowl Creek and the East Fork Butter Creek.

Gilman Ranch stands out as the primary named settlement site, indicating the area's history of high-country ranching. The complex web of routes like Log Spring Rd and various National Forest Development roads suggest a landscape heavily utilized for timber management and resource access. Geologic features like the depression known as The Big Pot add unique character to this remote territory within the Blue Mountains region.
