About this map

Cricket Flat and Elk Flat define the broad upland character of this Union County landscape, where the terrain is marked by a network of family-named roads and remote water sources. In the northern reaches, the high points of Minam Summit and Owenby Hill overlook several mountain water features, including Waller Reservoir 6 and Roulet Pond. The presence of Highland Cem along Good RD and Pine Grove Cem near Minam Hill suggests established pioneer-era roots in these higher elevations.

Drainage systems carve deep into the plateaus, with Rysdam Canyon and Duncan Canyon drawing water toward the major forks of Clark Creek, such as Middle Fork Clark Cr and N Fork Clark Cr. Along the eastern edge, Stubblefield Mtn rises above the canyons, serving as a prominent landmark for those navigating the transition from the flatlands into the more complex topography of the Wallowa Mountains' western foothills.
