2020 Map of Eagle Cap

About this map

Eagle Cap Summit rises at the heart of this high-elevation wilderness within the Wallowa National Forest. The landscape is defined by its glacial hydrology, where subalpine water bodies like Mirror Lake and Minam Lake feed a network of protected waterways including the Lostine Wild and Scenic River and the Minam Wild and Scenic River. The terrain is characterized by sharp divides and peaks, notably Sacajawea Peak, the Matterhorn, and Needle Point. This 2020 survey documents the intricate trail systems that navigate these summits, such as the Ivan Carper trail, and the high passes like Horton Pass and Frazier Pass that connect the Minam River and E Eagle Creek drainages. The map provides a contemporary view of the boundary between Union and Wallowa counties, highlighting the convergence of the Whitman National Forest and several scenic river corridors.
