2017 Map of Minam

About this map

The settlement of Minam sits at the northern edge of this landscape where the Minam River joins the Wallowa River. This area represents a significant intersection of protected lands, as the Whitman National Forest and Wallowa National Forest converge here, punctuated by the Irrigon Fish Hatchery along the river banks. The terrain is defined by high-elevation features such as Cougar Ridge and High Ridge, which overlook deep carvings in the earth like Big Canyon and Skylight Canyon. This geography reflects a managed wilderness where early water sources like Chestnut Spring and Alder Spring remain vital markers. The map details a network of forest development roads, including Nat For Dev Rd 8270, which navigate the complex topography between the river valleys and the level expanse of Meads Flat.
