2011 Map of Hat Point

About this map

The Snake River defines the southeastern corner of this high-elevation terrain, where deep drainage systems like Lightning Creek and Horse Creek carve through the landscape. This 2011 survey illustrates the infrastructure of the U.S. Forest Service in the Hells Canyon vicinity, including the Hat Point Lookout Tower and the remote Horse Creek Cabin. Navigation across the high ridges is facilitated by the Snake River View Rd and Hat Point Rd, which lead to critical vantage points such as Granny View Point and the Horse Creek Viewpoint. Smaller landmarks like Sacajawea Spring and Hoodoo Spring provide rare water sources along the steep slopes of Grizzly Ridge and Summit Ridge. The presence of the Memaloose Airstrip and Warnock Corral highlights the area's history as a working landscape for both aviation and ranching within the national forest.
