2024 Map of Summerfield Ridge

About this map

Umatilla National Forest encompasses a significant portion of this high-elevation landscape in Morrow County, where the terrain is defined by deep drainage networks and prominent ridgelines. The namesake Summerfield Ridge and adjacent Summerfield Canyon dominate the eastern reaches, while an intricate series of water sources including Sperry Spring, Smith Birch Spring, and Rhea Spring provide critical points of interest for land management and local history. The map detail illustrates the complex hydrology of the region, tracing the paths of Balm Fork, Skinners Fork, and Wilson Creek as they cut through canyon systems like Gilman Canyon and Thompson Canyon. Remote access is documented through corridors such as Upper Rhea Creek Rd and Wilson Creek Rd, alongside the Copple Butte Trl, reflecting the area's ongoing use for timber, grazing, and recreation within the national forest system.
