About this map

The Imnah River valley serves as the central artery for this mountainous region of Wallowa County, where the high ridges of the Wallowa National Forest meet the protected landscapes of the Hells Canyon National Recreation Area. The terrain is characterized by a series of prominent divides, including Jaynes Ridge, Beeler Ridge, and Morgan Ridge, which separate numerous drainage basins like Grouse Creek and Summit Creek.

Evidence of local history and backcountry use is visible at the Park Cem and via specialized infrastructure such as the Neil Canyon Trail and the Upper Imnaha Road. High-elevation landmarks like Harl Butte and Saulsberry Saddle provide navigational anchors, while secluded water sources such as Himmelwright Spring and Ralph Spring reflect the practical needs of those traversing this wilderness area during the late twentieth century.
