2023 Map of Tower Mountain

About this map

Tower Mtn rises as the central landmark within a landscape defined by the overlapping boundaries of the Umatilla National Forest, Whitman National Forest, and the North Fork John Day Wilderness. This modern survey illustrates the intricate drainage systems and alpine openings that characterize the Blue Mountains at the Umatilla and Union County line. The terrain is marked by high-elevation grazing areas like Frazier Meadow and Big Creek Meadow, connected by an extensive network of specialized tracks including the Tower Mtn Road 5226 Trl and the Ukiah-Granite Road 52 Trl. A complex system of off-highway vehicle and snowmobile routes, such as the Tin Trough-Tony Vey Snowmobile Trl, underscores the contemporary management of this wilderness for recreation and conservation. Water sources like Reno Spring and Lookout Spring serve as vital points in this high-country environment.
