About this map

The Imnaha Wild and Scenic River defines the northern edge of this high-elevation mountain landscape, where the Imnaha River carves through the protected lands of the Wallowa National Forest. This modern 2023 survey illustrates a wilderness primarily managed for conservation and seasonal recreation, as evidenced by a sprawling network of specialized paths including the Indian Crossing Snowmobile Trl and the Coverdale Snowmobile Trl.

Southward, the terrain transitions into the Whitman National Forest, marked by the dividing line between Wallowa and Baker counties. The drainage patterns are intricate, with Duck Creek and North Creek feeding into a complex hydrological system that includes North Pine Creek and Lake Fork Creek. High-country trails like the Dutchman Trl and the Wallowa Mtn Loop Snowmobile Trl provide the only significant access through these timbered reaches, highlighting the remote character of the Blue Mountains region in the early 21st century.
