About this map

The Wallowa River and Lostine River converge in the southern reaches of this landscape, marking a significant hydrological junction in Wallowa County. The settlement of Evans sits near the base of the hills, while the Lostine Cem provides a focal point for genealogical interest on the valley floor. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainages and creeks, including the complex branches of Whisky Cr to the north and the winding Parsnip Cr to the east.

Upland features such as Allen Canyon and various seasonal draws are navigated by a grid of rural roads like Leap Rd and Powatka Rd. Agricultural water management is evident through the Westside Ditch, which follows the contours of the valley. The map documents a landscape of high-plateau drainage systems where water rights and cemetery locations reflect the long-standing footprint of the local ranching community.
