About this map

Umatilla National Forest encompasses the majority of this landscape, characterized by the rugged watershed of Sugarbowl Creek and its many seasonal tributaries. The topography is defined by significant landmarks like Battle Mtn and the prominent Sugarbowl Ridge, which together shape the drainage patterns for creeks such as Deerlick Cr and E Fork Butter Cr. The map reveals a remote area primarily utilized for ranching and resource management, anchored by the Gilman Ranch in the southwest.

A network of specialized forest service roads, such as Nat For Dev Rd 5311, provides access to numerous natural water sources including Sturdevant Spring, Wolf Spring, and Gurdane Spring. The presence of the Old Western Route suggests a long-standing corridor through this high-elevation terrain. Notable depressions and geological features are specifically named, such as The Big Pot, offering a detailed view of the natural geography within this portion of Umatilla County.
