1990 Map of Chief Joseph Mtn

USGS Topo · Published 1990

About this map

Chief Joseph Mountain dominates this vertical terrain within the Wallowa National Forest, where high alpine ridges separate deep glacial drainages. Mining history is etched into the peaks at the Legore Mine and the Joseph Mtn Mines, while the Miners Basin suggests the early industrial activity that drew prospectors to these heights. The transition from the high Eagle Cap Wilderness to the valley floor is marked by the presence of the Hurricane Grange and the Joseph Cem, indicating the edge of permanent settlement near the Joseph State Airport. The hydrological network is well-defined by the Hurricane Creek corridor, which flows past the Hurricane Creek Campground and is monitored by a Gaging Station. High altitude lakes such as Legore Lake, Deadman Lake, and Echo Lake dot the basins between the Hurricane Divide and the Hurwal Divide.
