About this map

Umatilla National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape along the boundary of Morrow and Grant counties. The terrain is a complex network of ridges and drainages, notably Jack Ridge and the prominent Turner Mountain. Water management for livestock and wildlife is evident through the numerous Stock Pond and named water sources like Sunflower Spring and Big Willow Spring that dot the slopes.

Historically significant landmarks such as Eagle Rock and China Cap serve as focal points amidst the many canyons, including Dark Canyon and Cat Canyon. The presence of CCC Spring suggests earlier conservation work in the area, while names like Wilson Prairie and Wild Horse Butte reflect the region's ranching and natural history. This mid-1990s survey preserves the layout of forest access and water distribution across this high-country terrain before modern shifts in land use.
