About this map

Whitman National Forest and the Eagle Cap Wilderness dominate this high-elevation terrain where the borders of Union, Baker, and Wallowa counties converge. The landscape is defined by its dramatic hydrology, featuring numerous alpine water bodies such as Lookingglass Lake, Two Color Lake, and Bear Lake. These lakes feed a complex network of drainages, including the East Fork Eagle Creek and Little Eagle Creek, which carve through the peaks.

Evidence of historical resource extraction is visible at the Bradley Creek Mine in the southwest, located near Bradley Creek. The topographical detail captures a series of prominent summits like Hummingbird Mtn, Truax Mtn, and Granite Mtn, alongside distinctive features such as The Box and Canyon. This area, documented in the late twentieth century, serves as a record of a protected wilderness area where only unimproved trails and pack creeks navigate the steep terrain between Krag Peak and Jackson Peak.
