About this map

The high plateau of Wallowa County is defined by its dramatic relief where the Grande Ronde River carves through the northwestern corner near Horseshoe Bend. This map details the isolated settlement of Flora, situated in a landscape of deep canyons and prominent ridges. Notable local history landmarks include Lost Prairie Cem and Nicoson Cem, which serve as physical markers of the homesteading families who settled the surrounding Lost Prairie.

Drainage systems like West Bear Cr, East Bear Cr, and Buford Cr have sculpted the terrain into a series of steep draws and canyons, including Applegate Canyon and Shuman Canyon. The road network, featuring routes like Lewiston Hwy and Sunny Glade Rd, follows the natural contours of landmarks such as Buford Ridge and Garrett Ridge. Rising above the surrounding draws are prominent volcanic features like Buck Butte and Courtney Butte.
