About this map

Krag Peak and Truax Mountain dominate this section of the high Wallowas, where the boundaries of Wallowa National Forest and Whitman National Forest converge. The landscape is defined by a dense network of glacial basins and steep drainages, including the headwaters of the South Fork Imnaha River and the meandering East Fork Eagle Creek. Dozens of alpine water bodies are scattered across the high elevations, from the isolated Cached Lake in the northwest to the clusters at Pine Lakes and Two Color Lake.

Human activity is sparse and concentrated along the southern corridor where E Eagle Rd follows the valley floor toward Twin Canyon. The map reveals the dramatic geological transitions of the region, specifically at the Granite Cliff and the narrow passage known as The Box. These features, along with names like Hummingbird Mountain and Lookingglass Lake, reflect the late 20th-century wilderness designations and the enduring appeal of this area for high-altitude backcountry travel.
