2011 Map of Fox Point

About this map

Fox Point and its high-elevation surroundings in Wallowa County are defined by a complex drainage network feeding into the Deer Creek and Bear Creek systems. This 2011 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey and U.S. Forest Service documents a landscape managed for public access and conservation. Key water sources like Bearwallow Spring and Standley Spring are critical markers for backcountry navigation and historic livestock management in these upper basins. The presence of the Bearwallow Trailhead indicates the area's importance for modern wilderness recreation, providing access to the ridges and canyons that define the northeastern Oregon terrain. Prominent landmarks such as Bald Knob and Goat Mountain rise above the basins, while named features like Womack Basin and Big Flat suggest the varying topography between deep canyons and higher plateaus. Remote springs such as Hideaway Spring reflect the localized geography relied upon by those traversing Big Sheep Ridge or the slopes above Murphy Creek.
