About this map

The high peaks of the Wallowa Mountains define this landscape, where the Eagle Cap Wilderness meets the protected reaches of the Wallowa National Forest and Whitman National Forest. This high-altitude terrain is characterized by a dense network of glacial lakes and alpine streams, including Lookingglass Lake, Two Color Lake, and the source waters of East Fork Eagle Creek. The map documents the intricate natural topography of the region, specifically along the Union Co Baker Co and Union Co Wallowa Co boundaries.

While largely a wilderness area, human activity is marked by the Bradley Creek Mine and scattered prospects, indicating the region's history of mineral exploration. Access for researchers and hikers is noted through established routes such as the Cliff Creek Trail and Kettle Park Trail. Distinctive summits like Krag Peak and Granite Mtn serve as the primary landmarks in this complex system of canyons and ridges.
