2020 Map of Wenaha Forks

About this map

The Wenaha Wild and Scenic River defines this landscape within the Umatilla National Forest, where the N Fork Wenaha River and S Fork Wenaha River converge. This area of the Blue Mountains is characterized by a series of steep, parallel ridges including Beaver Ridge, Sawtooth Ridge, and Dexter Ridge. The map details an extensive network of primitive paths such as the Wenaha River Trail and Slick Ear Trail, which provide the primary means of navigating the deep drainages of Beaver Cr and Rock Cr. High-elevation landmarks like Round Butte and Elk Flat serve as key orientation points for backcountry travelers. Near the southern boundary, Jaussaud Cr and Jarboe Cr drain toward the river system, while water sources like Trapper Spring and Peerless Spring indicate the essential locations for early wilderness survival and modern recreation.
