About this map

Umatilla National Forest defines the southern reach of this landscape, where the Copple Butte Trail winds through the high terrain above Rutabaga Creek. The topography is dominated by a series of dramatic drainages and ridges, most notably Summerfield Ridge and its namesake Summerfield Canyon. To the north, the land is etched by a network of steep-walled features including Sanford Canyon, Gilman Canyon, and Carmichael Canyon.

Water sources are vital markers in this arid environment, with named locations like Sperry Spring, Smith Birch Spring, and Rhea Spring providing essential points of reference. The map documents a complex system of seasonal and perennial waterways such as Skinners Fork, Balm Fork, and Wilson Creek, many of which are paralleled by local access routes like Wilson Creek Road and Sanford Canyon Road. This 2020 survey illustrates the intersection of national forest boundaries and private landholdings in a remote section of the Blue Mountains.
