2014 Map of Tamarack Gulch

About this map

Umatilla National Forest and Whitman National Forest converge across this high-country landscape, where the boundary between Umatilla and Union Counties winds through steep drainages and timbered ridges. The area is defined by its complex hydrology, with numerous seasonal and perennial water sources such as Tamarack Spring, Jungle Spring, and Windy Spring providing critical water in the upland terrain. Significant topographic features like Tamarack Gulch and Dark Canyon drop away from high meadows, including the prominent McClellan Meadow. A dense network of Forest Service roads, such as Nat For Dev Rd 150 and Nat For Dev Rd 160, provides access to these interior lands, tracing the paths of Pearson Cr and Meadow Cr as they cut through the national forest system.
