1993 Map of Jim White Ridge

About this map

Jim White Ridge anchors this portion of the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest in northeast Oregon, where high-altitude basins and drainage networks define the terrain. The landscape is marked by the Eagle Cap Wilderness and the deep incision of the Minam River as it flows northwest. Historical land use and environmental events are visible through features like the Big Burn and a remote Landing Strip in the northwest corner, likely supporting forest management or backcountry access. A complex network of Pack Trails provides the primary infrastructure through the high country, connecting locations like Corral Basin, Lake Basin, and Saddle Basin. The map also captures the intricate water system feeding the river, including North Fork Minam River and numerous high-elevation springs like Mud Spring, which serve as vital water sources in this steep, forested environment.
