1993 Map of Little Catherine Creek

About this map

Catherine Creek State Park occupies a central role in this pocket of Union County, where the canyon floor transitions toward the high peaks of the Eagle Cap Wilderness. The landscape is defined by the converging drainage systems of Catherine Creek and Little Catherine Creek, which carve through the dense timber of the Whitman National Forest. Local landmarks like Billy Small Meadow and Little Catherine Meadows indicate the presence of seasonal grazing lands and water sources amidst the steep terrain. Evidence of high-country navigation is visible through the primitive Merry-Go-Round Road and the Pack Trail that crosses the Wilderness Boundary near Bald Mountain. Peaks such as South Baldy and Crib Point anchor the high ridges, overlooking several remote water sources like Bearwallow Spring.
