1964 Map of Howard Butte

About this map

Wallowa National Forest land dominates this 1964 field-checked survey, characterized by a series of high-altitude meadows and ridges that define the watershed. Howard Butte, topped with a Lookout Tower, overlooks a network of namesake clearings including Howard Meadow and Downwards Meadow. The landscape is etched by drainage systems like Howard Creek and Grossman Creek, which flow through steep terrain toward the Wallowa River along the southern boundary.
