2017 Map of Fingerboard Saddle

About this map

Wallowa National Forest land defines this corner of the state, where steep drainage systems carve into the high country. The landscape is characterized by a series of deep gulches and canyons, including Roy Canyon and Fingerboard Gulch, which feed into major watercourses like Lightning Creek. Significant vertical relief is marked by prominent elevations such as Square Mountain and Kernan Point. For researchers and geologists, the map reveals a network of high-altitude features including the namesake Fingerboard Saddle and Summit Ridge. Water sources in this arid timberland are specifically identified by labels such as Winters Spring and Dad Spring, providing insight into the sparse but critical hydrology of the t2n r49e and t3n r49e townships.
