1957 Map of Elk Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

The Wallowa National Forest dominates this mid-century topographic landscape in northeastern Oregon, characterized by a complex network of canyons and gulches. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes from Starvation Ridge and the heights of Elk Mountain down to the deep drainages of Joseph Creek and Beaver Creek. Human activity is marked by isolated landmarks like the Chico Guard Sta and the Lewis Sch, suggesting a sparse, ranching-oriented settlement pattern centered on family-held lands such as Hinton Ranch.
