About this map

Agricultural water management and high-country terrain define this Wallowa County landscape, where the Wallowa River and its associated irrigation network support the valley floors. A complex system of human-made waterways, including Farmers Ditch, Big Bend Ditch, and Granger Ditch, threads through the southern half of the quadrangle, illustrating the vital role of water rights and land engineering in the region's ranching and farming history. The terrain transitions from these managed lowlands to the more dissected northern hills, cut by prominent drainages like Swamp Creek, Crow Creek, and Arkansas Hollow. Notable local access is provided by family-named routes such as McFetridge Rd, Dobbin Rd, and Ira Pratt Rd, which connect the rural parcels between the larger townships. The map provides a contemporary view of the intersection between natural hydrography and the extensive canal systems required for high-desert cultivation.
