About this map

The Minam River corridor dominates this high-country landscape on the border of Wallowa CO and Union CO. This remote wilderness territory, situated within the Wallowa National Forest and Whitman National Forest, is defined by its deep river basins and prominent ridges like Jim White Ridge and Big Sheep Ridge. The map documents a strictly backcountry infrastructure, centered on the Reds Wallowa Horse Ranch Airport and an extensive network of pack trails, including the Minam River Trl and Miners Basin Trl.

Evidence of historical environmental impact is recorded at Big Burn, while the hydrography of the Minam Wild And Scenic River remains the primary geographical feature. Notable landmarks for navigation and land use include Minam Falls, the high peak of Goat Mtn, and several secluded catchments such as Lake Basin and Twin Basin. The terrain is strictly managed as part of the Eagle Cap Wilderness, showing no modern road development.
