2017 Map of Hicks Spring

About this map

Wallowa National Forest land dominates the northeastern corner of this area, where high meadows and the headwaters of numerous creeks shape the landscape. This portion of Wallowa County is defined by a dense network of mountain drainages, including the branching forks of N Fork Whiskey Cr, Middle Fork Whiskey Cr, and S Fork Whiskey Cr. The presence of Miller Meadow and Braham Meadows suggests the importance of high-elevation grazing or open clearings within the timbered forest. A series of early roads and forest lanes, such as McAllister Ridge Rd and School Flat Rd, navigate the complex topography, providing access to landmarks like Hicks Spring. The map captures the interface between managed forest lands and the rural backroads that connect remote geographic features like Parsnip Cr and Trout Cr.
