About this map

The North Fork John Day Wilderness and the Umatilla National Forest dominate this high-country landscape, where the North Fork John Day River carves through the northern reaches of the Grant and Umatilla county line. The terrain is defined by its water sources and high-elevation basins, including Turner Meadow, Round Meadows, and Wassen Meadows. These areas provided critical grazing and stopovers for early forest users, evidenced by the numerous named springs like Mote Spring, Snapp Spring, and Hunters Spring.
