About this map

The Eagle Cap Wilderness and surrounding forest lands dominate this high-country landscape near the intersection of the Wallowa National Forest and Whitman National Forest. The terrain is defined by deep drainage systems like the Middle Fork Catherine Creek and the Little Minam River, which carve through ridges such as Cartwheel Ridge and China Cap Ridge.

Human activity is primarily recreational and extractive, evidenced by the North Fork Campground and various prospects found near Meadow Mtn. The map records a complex network of pack trails and four-wheel-drive tracks that provide access to remote landmarks like Lackeys Lake and Burger Meadows. A clear Wild River Boundary follows the course of the Minam River, highlighting the protected status of these waterways in the early 1990s.
