1990 Map of Lick Creek

About this map

Wallowa National Forest land defines this corner of Oregon, where the high-elevation terrain of the Imnaha Divide meets a complex network of canyons and creeks. The landscape is split by significant administrative boundaries, including the edge of the Eagle Cap Wilderness to the west and the Hells Canyon National Recreation Area to the southeast. Industrial and forest management history is evident at the Zollman and Wells Mine and the Dick Creek Guard Station, while recreation is anchored by the Lick Creek Campground. Water management is represented by the Wallowa Weir on the upper reaches of Sheep Creek, a tributary to the larger Big Sheep Creek. Steep ridges such as Wing Ridge and summits like Tyee Butte rise above deep drainages like Echo Canyon, illustrating the challenging geography of the northern Wallowa Mountains.
