About this map

Wallowa National Forest land defines this corner of Oregon, where the headwaters of the Big Sheep Cr and Lick Creek drainages carve through high-elevation terrain. This 2017 survey documents the complex hydrological and topographic layout of the Imnaha Divide, featuring prominent landmarks like Tyee Butte and Blue Jay Ridge.

A notable feat of engineering, the Wallowa Valley-Improvement Canal is shown traversing the western slopes of Echo Canyon. Access to these remote reaches is traced through a network of Forest Service roads, including the Wallowa Mountain Loop and the winding Divide Rd. Natural water sources such as Target Spring and Wayside Spring are identified, serving as critical points of interest in this high-country landscape.
