About this map

Whitney stands as the central settlement in this high-elevation landscape within the Whitman National Forest. The area is defined by a network of meadows and water sources, including Whitney Meadow, Griffin Meadow, and Patrick Meadow, which indicate a long history of seasonal grazing and water management. The hydrology is dominated by the N Fork Burnt River and supplemented by numerous named springs such as Quaking Aspen Spring and Lowell Spring.

Evidence of the region's transportation and land-use history is visible in the crossing of the Whitney Tipton Hwy and the Sumpter Stage Hwy. For genealogists and local historians, the Whitney Cem provides a specific point of interest for tracing the families who once occupied Whitney Valley. The presence of the Trout Cr Reservoir and various logging-related springs highlights the historical intersection of timber, water, and transit in the Blue Mountains.
