About this map

The Wenaha River and Grande Ronde River carve deep drainages through this Wallowa County landscape, isolating high plateau features like Moore Flat and Grouse Flat. This 2011 survey documents a sparsely populated region where social life and history center on the small settlement of Eden, marked by the Eden Community Hall and the Eden Cemetery. The presence of the Hoodoo Lookout Tower on a high point above Long Meadows indicates the importance of fire surveillance in these timbered reaches of the Pacific Northwest.

Evidence of ranching and early land use persists through named sites like the Cecil Bott Ranch near the northern boundary and various water sources such as Thorn Spring, Fenton Spring, and Dan Cold Spring. The network of forest roads shown reflects a rugged infrastructure connecting landmarks like Patterson Ridge and Eden Ridge, providing a clear look at the late 20th-century management of these public and private lands.
