About this map

Arkansas Hollow and Rocky Hollow define the undulating landscape of Wallowa County, where intricate water management systems have supported local agriculture for generations. The region is marked by an extensive network of irrigation features including Farmers Ditch, Granger Ditch, and the Wrenn Dobbin Ditch, which redirect water from natural courses like Prairie Cr and the Wallowa River. These man-made channels illustrate a legacy of land use designed to sustain the valley's productivity. In the eastern portion of the quadrangle, the terrain breaks into steep drainages such as Pine Tree Gulch and OK Gulch, while a web of named roads like Crow Creek Rd and Elk Mountain Rd provides access to the high plateaus and ranch lands that characterize this corner of Oregon.
