Joseph serves as the gateway to the massive peaks and alpine waters of Wallowa County, situated at the northern foot of Wallowa Lake. The landscape transition is immediate, moving from the grid of the town site into the protected lands of the Nez Perce National Historical Park, which contains the Old Chief Joseph Gravesite. The map reveals a complex irrigation system vital to the valley's agriculture, with numerous historic waterways like Farmers Ditch, Granger Ditch, and Wrenn Dobbin Ditch siphoning from the Wallowa River and its tributaries.
