1990 Map of Elk Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1990

About this map

Wallowa National Forest land dominates this high-country survey of northeastern Oregon, defined by a complex network of drainages and prominent peaks. Elk Mountain stands as the central landmark, its slopes carved by seasonal and perennial waterways like Swamp Creek and Crow Creek. The terrain is deeply incised, shown through the narrow passages of Stack Canyon and Baker Canyon. While largely unpopulated, the presence of the Base Line and the detailed mapping of Arkansas Hollow and Gould Gulch reveal the underlying surveying framework used to manage this public timberland. The map provides a clear picture of the hydrological patterns of the Blue Mountains region before late-20th-century shifts in forest management, tracing the paths of Beaver Creek and Baker Creek through the steep, wooded topography.
