2017 Map of Eagle Cap

About this map

Sacajawea Peak and the Matterhorn dominate the high-elevation landscape of the Wallowa Mountains within the Wallowa National Forest. This 2017 survey details a high-alpine environment where several major watersheds originate, including the Lostine River and the Minam River. The drainage patterns are defined by prominent ridges like the Hurwal Divide and Hurricane Divide, which separate numerous glacial lakes. Researchers can identify key access points across this terrain such as Horton Pass and Glacier Pass. Significant water bodies like Ice Lake and Mirror Lake are clustered within the Lake Basin, illustrating a complex network of alpine hydrology. The map captures the meeting point of Union and Wallowa counties, centered on the landmark Eagle Cap summit.
