About this map

The Imnaha River carves a deep central artery through this high-elevation landscape in Wallowa County. Most of the terrain is protected within the Wallowa National Forest, with the southeastern portion transitions into the Hells Canyon Wilderness. A series of prominent North-South landmarks like Jaynes Ridge and Morgan Ridge define the drainage patterns, feeding numerous small tributaries such as Shin Creek and Neil Creek into the main river channel.

Evidence of local history and backcountry use appears in the small Park Cem and numerous named water sources like Himmelwright Spring and Tepee Spring. Transportation is limited to a network of trails suitable for seasonal recreation, including the Harl Butte Snowmobile Trl and the Steamboat Trl. High peaks like Harl Butte offer wide perspectives over the surrounding canyons and gulches, including Neil Canyon and Shadow Canyon.
