1967 Map of Wenaha Forks

About this map

Umatilla National Forest defines this remote corner of Oregon and Washington as it appeared in the late 1960s. The terrain is characterized by steep drainage systems like Trapper Canyon and prominent elevations such as Round Butte and Beaver Ridge. This map captures a wilderness area before modern road development, where access was primarily managed through a network of Pack Trails and a single Jeep Trail winding through the interior. At the center of the sheet, Wenaha Forks marks the confluence where the North Fork Sawtooth meets the Wenaha River. The geography is dotted with remote water sources essential for forest navigation, including Peerless Spring and the open ground of Elk Flat near the eastern boundary.
