About this map

Riley Camp stands as a focal point in this 2011 survey of the Umatilla National Forest region, where the landscape is defined by a complex network of forest roads and vital water sources. The drainage patterns of Meadow Creek, McCoy Creek, and Waucup Creek dictate the local geography, carving through high-elevation terrain including McClellan Meadow and the steep walls of Dark Canyon.

Strategic water points like Tamarack Spring, Jungle Spring, and Klondike Spring illustrate the importance of reliable water in this backcountry environment. The map details an extensive system of Forest Service routes, such as 54 and 5427, providing a precise look at the access points used by timber managers and outdoor enthusiasts in the early 21st century. This study serves as a contemporary record of land use and nomenclature within Tamarack Gulch and its surrounding canyons.
