About this map

The confluence of the Wallowa River and the Lostine River anchor this topographic study of the canyon-cut highlands of Wallowa County. The small settlement of Evans sits at the southern edge, near the Lostine Cem, while the Wallowa Cem is situated further north along the plateau near Leap Rd. This landscape is defined by the complex drainage network of the Whisky Creek system, including Straight Whisky Creek and North Fork Whisky Creek, which carve deep incisions through the high country.

Evidence of local irrigation and agricultural engineering is visible through features like the Westside Ditch, which follows the river valleys. Named roads such as Jim Town Rd and School Flat Rd suggest the historic distribution of ranching and rural homesteads across the flats. On the eastern edge, the private Stonebrink Airport serves as a remote landmark in this terrain of steep ridges and canyon floors.
