About this map

Tollgate serves as a central point of activity within the Umatilla National Forest, situated near the headwaters of the South Fork Walla Walla River and Lookingglass Creek. This 1963 survey, updated in the early 1980s, documents a high-altitude landscape defined by timber management and fire surveillance, anchored by the McIntyre Lookout and the Spout Springs Lookout Tower. The terrain is deeply incised by drainages like Deadman Gulch and Swede Canyon Creek, which fall away from prominent ridges such as Rodgers Ridge and Rimrock Ridge.

Cultural and recreational sites are well-documented, including the Woodward Forest Camp and the waters of Langdon Lake, which features a recorded spillway. The presence of the Bear Creek Guard Station and numerous named water sources, such as Wild Woman Spring and Whisky Spring, highlights the historical importance of water management and forest service operations in this portion of the Blue Mountains.
