About this map

Wallowa National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape, centered on the dramatic peaks and basins of the Eagle Cap Wilderness. The terrain is defined by extreme elevation changes, rising from Six-Mile Meadow to the prominent heights of Aneroid Mountain and Petes Point. This area serves as a primary headwater source, where the West Fork and East Fork Wallowa Rivers begin their descent.

Evidence of historical mining exploration is scattered across the high ridges, indicated by several Prospects and Tunnels near Jewett Lake and the McCully Basin. A network of pack trails provides the only transit through these remote alpine environments, connecting numerous glacial water bodies like Aneroid Lake, Roger Lake, and Dollar Lake. The southeastern portion of the quadrangle shows the distinct drainage of the North Fork Imnaha River, which carves away from the Imnaha Divide.
