2017 Map of Tower Mountain

About this map

Tower Mountain stands as the central landmark of this high-elevation interior landscape, where the boundaries of the Umatilla National Forest and Whitman National Forest meet. This terrain is defined by a dense network of forest service roads and specialized infrastructure, including the Tower Mountain Tower Loop and the Ukiah-Granite Road 52. The drainage patterns are clearly delineated by the headwaters of numerous creeks, such as Cable Creek, Big Cr, and Winom Cr. Distinctive clearings like Frazier Meadow and Hidaway Meadows indicate more open grazing or riparian zones amidst the timbered slopes. The presence of Lookout Spring and Reno Spring highlights the importance of reliable water sources in this remote part of the Umatilla and Union County borderlands.
