About this map

Cornucopia sits at the base of the high peaks within the Whitman National Forest, a site defined by its legacy of mountain resource extraction and rugged alpine topography. The landscape is dominated by steep elevation changes, rising from the settlement toward Cornucopia Peak and Granite Mountain. Water management is a primary feature of this terrain, evidenced by a series of high-altitude catchments including East Lakes Reservoir, Clear Cr Reservoir, and Mehlhorn Reservoir.

Glacial carved features such as Norway Basin and Stein Basin illustrate the geological character of the Wallowa range. The drainage network is complex, with the South Fork Imnaha River and North Fork Imnaha River flowing through the northern reaches while Pine Cr and its many tributaries, like Panther Cr and Elk Cr, serve the southern slopes. To the southeast, Schneider Meadows provides a rare break in the vertical relief, while the Wallowa Co Baker Co line bisects the high ridges near Sugarloaf Mountain.
