About this map

The Imnaha River carves a deep path through this section of the Wallowa National Forest, defining a landscape of high, parallel ridges and steep drainages. Significant elevation changes are marked by Jaynes Ridge, Beeler Ridge, and Summit Ridge, which overlook a network of seasonal and perennial waters like Winston Cr and Johnson Cr. The small Park Cem sits along Upper Imnaha Rd, serving as a localized historical marker in an area otherwise dominated by the natural features of the national forest.

Water sources are critical landmarks in this high-elevation terrain, identified by named points such as Himmelwright Spring, Ralph Spring, and Tepee Spring. These springs, alongside drainages like Shadow Canyon and Leggett Gulch, trace the historic routes and grazing patterns that have shaped land use in Wallowa County. The presence of The Saddle and Saulsberry Saddle highlights the primary natural passes through these prominent ridges.
