About this map

Wallowa National Forest dominates this section of the Wallowa Mountains, characterized by a series of prominent high-altitude ridges and deep drainages. The complex topography centers on major landmarks such as Fox Point, Bald Knob, and Huckleberry Mtn, with Standley Ridge and Cougar Ridge defining the local watershed divides. Water sources are critical in this high country, marked by isolated points like Bearwallow Spring, Goat Mountain Spring, and Standley Spring.

Canyons and basins carve through the forest, notably Baker Canyon and Big Canyon, providing natural corridors through the steep terrain. The drainages of Bear Creek, Murphy Creek, and Lake Basin Creek reveal the intricate drainage network of the Elkhorn Mountains foothills. This 2020 survey records the network of forest roads and trails that traverse the heights near Big Sheep Ridge and the Womack Basin, showing the infrastructure used for modern forest management and recreation.
