About this map

Cornucopia sits at the heart of this high-elevation landscape, where the southern reaches of the Wallowa Mountains descend toward the drainage of Pine Creek. The topography is dominated by alpine features, including Norway Basin and the prominent heights of Cornucopia Peak and Granite Mountain. Water management is central to the area's geography, evidenced by high-mountain storage such as East Lakes Reservoir and Mehlhorn Reservoir, which feed the complex network of creeks like the South Fork Imnaha River.

A notable vestige of the area's mining history is the Coulter Tunnel, located near the primary settlement. The map also highlights the transition into recreational and seasonal land use, with features like the Clear Creek Sno-Park and grazing areas at Schneider Meadows. The steep drainages of Cliff Creek and Fly Creek underscore the difficult terrain that historically shaped the development of local industry and access routes in this part of Baker County.
