About this map

Halfway sits at the base of the southern Wallowa Mountains, serving as a gateway to the high timber of the Whitman National Forest. This agricultural and forestry hub in Pine Valley is surrounded by family-named landmarks like Mehlhorn Butte and Hooker Flat. The map reveals the intricate water management of the region, from the artificial Mining Channel to the Bearwallow Reservoir tucked behind Bearwallow Ridge.

Local history is anchored by the Haven Cem and the small settlement of Sunset to the east. The landscape is defined by the convergence of numerous mountain streams, including Clear Creek, Pine Creek, and Dry Creek, which flow south toward the valley floor. The road network, featuring the Baker-Copperfield Highway and Halfway-Cornucopia Highway, illustrates the town's historical role as a transit point for the surrounding mines and timber stands.
