About this map

Aneroid Mountain dominates this portion of the Wallowa Range, where the high-altitude hydrology feeds several major river systems. This landscape is characterized by its alpine basins and numerous high lakes, including Aneroid Lake, Jewett Lake, and the Bonny Lakes. The drainage patterns are particularly intricate, as headwaters form for the West Fork Wallowa River, the East Fork Wallowa River, and several branches of the Imnaha system, such as the North Fork Imnaha River.

Tracing the topography reveals a network of prominent peaks and ridges used for navigation and backcountry surveying, from Bonneville Mountain in the north to Cusick Mountain in the south. Named landmarks like Petes Point and Tenderfoot Pass provide specific waypoints within the complex terrain. The presence of Six Mile Meadow and Bonner Flat suggests rare level ground amidst the steep gradients of the McCully Basin and Big Sheep Basin.
