2011 Map of Minam

About this map

The confluence of the Wallowa River and the Minam River defines this corner of Northeast Oregon, where the settlement of Minam serves as a small waypoint for those navigating the river corridors. The landscape is carved by significant drainage systems including Big Canyon, Skylight Canyon, and Deer Creek, which flow through steep topography toward the primary rivers. The presence of the Big Canyon Fish Weir near the river junction highlights the region's importance for local aquatic management. To the south, Meads Flat offers a rare break in the canyon terrain near the winding path of the Minam. Infrastructure is focused on narrow access routes like Smith Mountain Rd and Big Canyon Rd, while industrial activity is represented by the North Fork Gravel Pit situated along the lower western slopes.
