2011 Map of Billy Meadows

About this map

Billy Meadows and the surrounding Wallowa County highlands are defined by a complex network of seasonal camps and water sources critical to the region's ranching and backcountry heritage. Names like Hay Pen Camp and Hollow Log Cow Camp reflect the area's history of high-country grazing, while the landscape is carved by deep drainages such as Telephone Gulch, French Gulch, and Ellis Canyon. Numerous springs, including Baldwin Spring and Sumac Spring, are noted alongside man-made water features like Volstead Reservoir and McCarty Reservoir, illustrating the vital management of water in this high-elevation terrain.
