1990 Map of Chief Joseph Mtn

USGS Topo · Published 1990

About this map

Chief Joseph Mountain and the high ridges of the Eagle Cap Wilderness dominate this terrain within the Wallowa National Forest. The landscape is defined by its deep drainages and sharp divides, including the Hurricane Divide and Hurwal Divide, where elevation rises sharply from the valley floor to peaks like Ruby Peak and Sawtooth Peak. The map reveals the area's mining history through sites such as the Legore Mine and Joseph Mtn Mines, alongside the high-altitude Miners Basin. Near the northeast corner, the land transition toward the settled Wallowa Valley is marked by the Hurricane Grange and the Hurricane Creek Campground, indicating the intersection of wilderness recreation and rural community life during this era. Alpine water sources, including Echo Lake, Frances Lake, and Billy Jones Lake, are mapped alongside the complex network of creeks that feed the watershed.
