2020 Map of Tower Mountain

About this map

Tower Mountain serves as the central anchor of this high-elevation landscape, where the Umatilla National Forest and Whitman National Forest converge. The terrain is defined by a dense network of seasonal access routes and water-rich meadows, including Frazier Meadow and Hidaway Meadows. The presence of several named springs, such as Lookout Spring and Reno Spring, suggests the critical importance of water management in these protected timberlands. A complex system of recreational and forest service roads like Tower Loop and the Ukiah-Granite Road 52 (Snow) overlays the drainage basins of Fly Creek and Umapine Creek, reflecting the modern-era focus on multi-use forest management and winter accessibility in this part of northeastern Oregon.
