2014 Map of Jim White Ridge

About this map

The Minam River flows through the center of this high-country landscape, marking the boundary between Union Co and Wallowa Co. The topography is dominated by dramatic ridges and basins, including the namesake Jim White Ridge and the expansive Lake Basin near the northern edge. A notable point of human activity is the Reds Wallowa Horse Ranch Airport, a backcountry airstrip serving the remote reaches of the Wallowa National Forest. The map also captures several natural landmarks such as Minam Falls and the Big Burn, which speak to the environmental history and hydrological features of the Eagle Cap area. Various tributaries like Whoopee Cr and Threemile Cr feed into the river systems, illustrating a complex drainage pattern across Whitman National Forest.
