About this map

The Imnaha River carves a deep path through Wallowa County, serving as the central artery for this remote portion of northeastern Oregon. The drainage system is defined by steep canyons and ridges, including the prominent Jaynes Ridge and Morgan Ridge. Along the river’s course, human presence is marked by essential rural landmarks such as the Imnaha Grange and the Park Cemetery, indicating the enduring agricultural and social ties of the local community.

High-elevation points like Harl Butte provide strategic vantage points, evidenced by the Harl Butte Lookout located at its summit. The landscape is further detailed by numerous named canyons such as Shadow Canyon and Road Canyon, alongside vital water sources like Himmelwright Spring and Ralph Spring. This 2011 survey documents a rugged network of forest roads, including Upper Imnaha Rd and River Canyon Rd, which navigate the complex topography between The Saddle and Saulsberry Saddle.
