About this map

Wallowa National Forest land dominates the southern portion of this landscape, where the terrain rises sharply toward Ferguson Ridge and White Horse Ridge. Central to the hydrology of the area is the Wallowa Valley Improvement Canal, a man-made water feature that underscores the historical importance of water management in this part of Oregon.

The map records a network of forest and mountain roads, including the Wallowa Mountain Rd and Wallowa Mountain Loop, which provide access to the high-elevation backcountry. Numerous water sources such as Kinney Lake, Papoose Lake, and Cold Springs are scattered among the canyons and gulches, including Rail Canyon and Pine Tree Gulch. The complex drainage system of Little Sheep Cr and its tributaries like McCully Cr and Griffith Cr illustrates the watershed's role in the regional ecology.
