About this map

Wallowa National Forest dominates this northeastern Oregon landscape, where the high ridges of the Eagle Cap Wilderness meet deep drainage systems. The map illustrates a high-elevation environment defined by prominent peaks like Huckleberry Mountain and Goat Mountain, with the titular Fox Point serving as a central geographic marker. Water sources are critical in this terrain, as evidenced by numerous named springs such as Bearwallow Spring, Hideaway Spring, and Standley Spring which support the area's hydrology.

Human activity is largely restricted to primitive transport and seasonal use, characterized by a network of pack trails including the Cougar Trail and Washboard Trail. The transition between protected wilderness and managed forest is marked by the Boundary Campground and several borrow pits, suggesting a landscape managed for both preservation and localized extraction. Notable basins like Womack Basin and Lake Basin provide natural catchments for the seasonal runoff of Sage Creek and Little Bear Creek.
