About this map

Umatilla National Forest dominates this mid-1960s topographic study, revealing a landscape defined by sharp ridges and seasonal water sources. High-altitude vigilance is centered at the Goodman Lookout Tower along Goodman Ridge, a critical vantage point for forest management in this era. The terrain is deeply incised by the South Fork Umatilla River and the complex drainage system of Meacham Creek.

Logistics and transport are confined to the high ground, with Skyline Road following the ridgetops to avoid the steep descent into Hellhole or Dusty Saddle Canyon. The map identifies numerous isolated springs, such as Huckleberry Spring and Dead Horse Spring, which served as vital resources for both wildlife and the region's range workers. The southern portion of the quadrangle is marked by the Base Line, a fundamental surveying boundary that underpins the land's legal description.
