2014 Map of Howard Butte

About this map

Wallowa National Forest land defines much of this terrain along the border of Union and Wallowa counties, where high ridges and deep drainages converge. The landscape is marked by a series of named openings such as Howard Meadow, Deerings Meadow, and James Meadow, suggesting a long history of local grazing or high-altitude encampments. The Wallowa River flows through the southern portion of the quadrangle, shadowed by the Minam State Park Rd and Or 82.
