1990 Map of Findley Buttes

About this map

Findley Buttes rise as a prominent landform within this high-elevation landscape of Wallowa County. The area is defined by a dense network of watercourses and ridges, with Long Ridge stretching across the northeastern corner and the eastern boundary bordering the Wallowa National Forest. Water sources are numerous throughout the territory, ranging from Little Sheep Creek and Butte Creek in the south to Pine Creek and Camp Creek further north. This 1990 provisional edition provides a clear view of the complex drainages typical of the region, including smaller tributaries like Stickney Gulch, Cottonwood Creek, and Magpie Creek. The presence of many stock ponds and springs across the terrain suggests a land primarily utilized for grazing and forestry at the close of the twentieth century.
