About this map

The Wallowa National Forest and Nez Perce National Forest meet in this landscape of dramatic elevation changes and remote landmarks. The boundary between Oregon and Idaho is defined by the canyon where the Snake Wild and Scenic River flows, overlooked by high points like Hat Point and Granny View Point. The presence of the Memaloose Airport near Memaloose and Grizzly Ridge suggests a region where air travel and specialized trails provide the primary access to the interior highlands.

A network of mountain springs and creeks, including Hoodoo Spring, Jim Spring, and Granny Spring, sustain the various ridges and breaks. The Western Rim-Natl Recreation Trail traverses the western heights, connecting landmarks such as Monument Ridge and Freezeout Saddle. This map documents the complex topography of the Snake River corridor, where named features like Smooth Hollow and Horse Creek Breaks illustrate the sheer scale of the drainage systems.
