2020 Map of Elk Mountain

About this map

Gould Gulch and Crow Cr carve through this section of Wallowa County, illustrating the drainage patterns that define this landscape. This 2020 record focuses on a sparsely settled portion of the county, characterized by significant elevation changes and seasonal watercourses. The drainage of Crow Cr in the northeast corner of the map provides a look at the natural boundaries that influenced land use and forestry in the region. Without the presence of dense settlements or town centers, the focus remains on the named topographic features and the local forest service road network that provides access to the high country. This map is a primary resource for understanding the contemporary topography and hydrography of the Elk Mountain vicinity within the Pacific Northwest.
