2023 Map of Sugarbowl Creek

About this map

Umatilla National Forest spans a rugged landscape of ridges and drainage basins in this high-country survey of Umatilla County. The terrain is defined by the prominent Sugarbowl Ridge and the distinct volcanic or glacial depression known as The Big Pot. A network of historic pathways, such as the Old Western Route Trl and the Gilman Ranch Trl, suggests a legacy of ranching and livestock movement through these timbered uplands. The area is heavily defined by its hydrography, with numerous water sources like Guilford Spring and Wolf Spring feeding the headwaters of Sugarbowl Creek and Deerlick Creek. This modern survey documents the contemporary boundaries of the national forest alongside enduring geographic landmarks like Battle Mtn.
