2020 Map of Flora

About this map

The high plateau of Wallowa County is defined by the isolated settlements of Flora and Lost Prairie in this 2020 record of the Oregon-Washington borderlands. Situated near the northern edge of the state, the landscape is deeply incised by steep drainage systems like Applegate Canyon, Shuman Canyon, and Little Courtney Canyon, all leading toward the Grande Ronde River which carves through the northwest corner at Horseshoe Bend. The map serves as a vital resource for tracing local family history through the inclusion of the Lost Prairie Cem and Nicoson Cem, located along rural corridors such as Lost Prairie Rd. This remote agricultural and grazing region is punctuated by prominent landforms including Courtney Butte and Garrett Ridge, illustrating the challenging topography that historically dictated the placement of homesteads and connecting routes like Redmond Grade Ln.
