2023 Map of Chief Joseph Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 2023

About this map

Chief Joseph Mtn dominates the central vertical axis of this landscape, serving as a pivot point between the high-altitude topography and the lower drainage basins near the Wallowa National Forest boundary. The map illustrates a complex network of glacial and alpine water systems, where the Hurricane Trl follows the course of Hurricane Creek through the heart of the Eagle Cap Wilderness. A distinct pattern of early land management is evident in the irrigation infrastructure at the northern edge, where the Hurricane Ditch, Silver Grange Ditch, and Consolidated Ditch divert water toward the Alder Slope. Modern utility and transit are represented by the Joseph State Airport and Hurricane Creek Cem, located on the periphery of the more mountainous terrain. From the high points of Sawtooth Peak and the Matterhorn, the drainage flows into isolated basins containing Legore Lake and Deadman Lake, mapping the transition from wilderness summits to the organized rural tracts of t2s r45e.
