2017 Map of Cactus Mountain

About this map

The Snake River carves a deep boundary through this canyon landscape, defining the border between Idaho and Oregon. The river's course is punctuated by several named whitewater features, including Zigzag Rapids, Warm Springs Rapids, and Deep Creek Rapids. On the eastern Idaho side, the terrain rises sharply toward Dellas Peak and Sugarloaf Butte, while the western Oregon portion is dominated by the Wallowa National Forest. At the river's edge, the historical Dug Bar marks a significant crossing point near the confluence of several gulches. Moving away from the main channel, the map details a network of drainage features such as Canaan Canyon and Robinson Gulch. In the southern reaches, the Imnaha River enters the frame, accompanied by the Cow Creek Bridge and high points like Summit Ridge, providing a look at the topographic complexity of the Hells Canyon region.
