About this map

Tollgate and the nearby Woodward area serve as the primary human nodes in this mid-1990s record of the High Blue mountains. Centered around Langdon Lake, the map documents a landscape of high ridges and deep canyons within the Umatilla National Forest, including Blalock Mountain and the complex drainage systems of the South Fork Walla Walla River. The presence of McIntyre Lookout and Spout Springs Lookout reflects the vital role of fire surveillance in this heavily timbered region.

Transport and recreation are defined by routes like Skyline Road and Kendall Road, which follow the natural contours of the high ground. The map details a network of named springs, such as Wild Woman Spring, Whisky Spring, and Gabriel Spring, which historically supported early range travel and Forest Service operations. Toward the southern boundary, the transition into the North Fork Umatilla Wilderness highlights the preservation of primitive areas near Coyote Ridge.
