About this map

Maxville stands as a focal point in this portion of Wallowa National Forest, positioned at the head of local drainage networks. The landscape is defined by its complex hydrology and vertical relief, featuring prominent elevations such as Akers Butte and Smith Mtn. Water resources are abundant throughout the quadrangle, from the high Bishop Meadows to named sources like Johnson Spring and Tub Spring.

A network of forestry and access roads, including Promise Rd and Five Dollar Ridge Rd, provides the primary structure for movement through the timberlands. The survey details the geographic orientation of local terrain, marking features such as Simmons Draw and Tamarack Canyon. The prevalence of meadows like Joso Meadow amidst the forest suggests the varied ecological niches found in this part of Wallowa County.
