About this map

Cornucopia Mines and the Queen Mine define the southern reaches of this survey, marking a period when hard-rock mining shaped the local economy along the Wallowa and Baker County line. The settlement of Cornucopia sits at the base of Cornucopia Peak, serving as a hub for the surrounding wilderness. To the north, the Wallowa Mountain Sheep Refuge and Wallowa Whitman National Forest protect a landscape of high alpine basins and peaks, including Bonneville Mtn and Aneroid Mtn.

Transport and administrative networks are visible through the distribution of the Fish Lake Guard Sta, Trinity Guard Station, and Lick Creek Ranger Sta. High-altitude water systems are well-documented, from the clustered Bonny Lakes to Aneroid Lake and the Imnaha Falls on the North Fork Imnaha River. These features reflect an era of managed forest service and active mineral extraction before modern wilderness designations further altered land use.
