2017 Map of Elk Mountain

About this map

Wallowa National Forest land dominates this high-altitude landscape in northeast Oregon, centered on the prominent summit of Elk Mountain. The terrain is defined by deep drainages and named depressions including Slack Canyon and Gould Gulch, which feed a complex network of waterways such as Elk Cr and Crow Creek Cr. Evidence of timber management and rural access is clear through the network of forest service roads like Starvation Rd and NFD 46 Rd. The southern portion of the sheet reveals the headwaters of Beaver Cr and Spring Cr, while the western edge is marked by the winding course of Arkansas Hollow and Arkansas Hollow Rd. This topography illustrates the rugged transition between the high ridges and the deeply carved canyons characteristic of the Wallowa region.
