About this map

The Starkey Experimental Forest dominates this landscape along the border of Union and Umatilla counties, providing a window into forest management practices during the mid-1960s. The topographic detail shows the Experimental Forest Headquarters and a nearby Reservoir, which serve as the hub for scientific study in this timber-rich region. The area is heavily intersected by both the Whitman National Forest and Umatilla National Forest, creating a complex patchwork of federal land designations.

Water sources are a primary feature of this terrain, with dozens of named springs such as Kaenta Spring, Blarney Spring, and Doherty Spring feeding into the drainage basins of Sullivan Gulch, Camas Creek, and Fly Creek. For those interested in regional place names, landmarks like Frog Heaven Meadow and Cougar Canyon illustrate the colorful vernacular used by early surveyors and settlers in these highlands.
