2011 Map of Trout Meadows

About this map

Trout Meadows anchors this remote landscape in the Blue Mountains, where the high-altitude drainage basins of the North Fork John Day River and Meadow Creek converge. The topography is defined by prominent elevations such as Trout Meadows Butte, White Pine Knob, and Ten Cent Butte, which separate a series of ecologically significant openings including China Meadow and Cabell Meadow. This 2011 survey illustrates a land primarily used for resource extraction and forestry, evidenced by the legacy of the Thornburg Placer Mine and Klopp Placer Mine situated along the river's upper reaches.
