1990 Map of Cornucopia

About this map

Cornucopia sits at the base of the high peaks within the Whitman National Forest, serving as a focal point for the region's mining history. The landscape is marked by industrial remnants such as the Coulter Tunnel, Last Chance Mill, and the Queen of the West Mine, with Tailings deposits mapped near the settlement. These features reflect a legacy of hard-rock extraction in the mountains of Baker County, Oregon. To the north, the terrain rises sharply toward the Eagle Cap Wilderness and Wallowa National Forest, where high-elevation landmarks like Cornucopia Peak and Marble Mountain overlook the drainage of the South Fork Imnaha River. Water management for the area is evident through high mountain infrastructure including Red Mtn Reservoir and East Lakes Reservoir. A network of pack trails links these remote sites, crossing through Schneider Meadow and along the various forks of Pine Creek.
