2011 Map of Eagle Cap

About this map

Eagle Cap stands as the central landmark of this high-elevation region in the Wallowa Mountains, where the headwaters of several major river systems originate. The landscape is defined by its dense collection of alpine water bodies, including the Minam Lake reservoir controlled by the Minam Lake Dam. Significant peaks such as the Matterhorn and Sacajawea Peak overlook a complex network of drainage basins. High-altitude travel is facilitated by established routes through Horton Pass and Glacier Pass, connecting the Lake Basin to the drainages of the East Fork Eagle Creek and the West Fork Wallowa River. This 2011 survey documents the hydrological and topographical detail of the wilderness, marking transition points like the Two Pan Trailhead where lowland access meets the high-country trail system.
