About this map

Umatilla National Forest occupies the northern reaches of this high-elevation terrain in Wheeler County, where the landscape is defined by a series of open meadows and named ridges. The map records several named basins and high points, including Wheeler Point and the prominent Frizzel Mtn. The southern portion of the quadrangle shows a history of upland movement and transit, anchored by the Winlock Cem near Winlock Rd.

Hydrography in this area is characterized by high-altitude springs and small lakes, such as Sigerist Spring, Howell Spring, and Hubbel Lake. These water sources support a series of named grasslands, including Gutherie Prairie and several meadows with probable family-name associations like Widow Meadow and Chasteen Meadow. This network of landmarks and forest service routes, including Nat For Dev Rd 21, illustrates the complex management and land use within this portion of the Blue Mountains region.
