2020 Map of The Cockscomb

About this map

The Umatilla National Forest encompasses this high-elevation landscape, where the North Fork John Day Wild and Scenic River carves through the northeastern corner of the map. This 2020 survey highlights a terrain defined by significant meadow systems and water sources, including Round Meadows, Wassen Meadows, and Turner Meadow. These clearings, along with Onion Flats, suggest a history of seasonal grazing and forest management within the Blue Mountains. Rising above the drainage of Peep Cr, the namesake ridge of The Cockscomb serves as a prominent landmark. Navigational markers like the 10 Road (Snow) and the Beeman Junkins route provide access to more remote locations such as Meengs Canyon and Putney Mtn, while numerous named springs like Mud Spring and Mote Spring punctuate the ridges.
