About this map

Umatilla National Forest encompasses much of this high country landscape, where a network of springs and creeks defines the local geography. Significant water sources like Gulliford Spring, Sturdevant Spring, and Wolf Spring are scattered across the drainage basins of East Fork Butter Creek and Sugarbowl Creek. The presence of the Gilman Ranch and various named features like The Big Pot suggest a history of ranching and navigation through this upland terrain.

Land utilization in the late 1960s is evidenced by scattered infrastructure, including a Well in the northern sections and several Borrow Pit and Gravel Pit locations likely used for maintaining the area's many Jeep Trails. The prominent Sugarbowl Ridge serves as a major landform dividing the western drainages from the eastern forest slopes, while Battle Mtn stands as a notable peak in the northeastern corner of the quadrangle.
