About this map

The Imnaha Wild and Scenic River defines the northern reaches of this high-elevation terrain, where it flows through the Wallowa National Forest. This remote landscape straddles the border between Wallowa Co and Baker Co, transitioning southward into the Whitman National Forest. The map documents a rugged water network characterized by numerous drainages such as Lake Fork Cr, Duck Cr, and Dutchman Cr, which carve through the steep topography of the Wallowa Mountains.

Transportation in this wilderness is primarily seasonal and recreational, evidenced by the extensive network of winter corridors. Traces of the Indian Crossing Snowmobile (Snow) and the Wallowa Mtn Loop Snowmobile (Snow) navigate the ridges and valleys, connecting natural water sources like Coverdale Spring and Rock Spring. This contemporary survey captures a protected wilderness area defined more by its hydrography and forest boundaries than by permanent settlement.
