About this map

North Minam Meadows serves as a focal point for this wilderness landscape in Wallowa County, defined by the drainage systems of the North Minam River and the Lostine River. The geography is shaped by high-elevation features such as Goat Mountain, Lookout Mountain, and Traverse Ridge, which divide numerous lake-filled basins including Wilson Basin and Swamp Basin. Human activity is primarily centered on seasonal use and backcountry access, evidenced by the presence of the Lapover Ranch and a network of forest camps like King Forest Camp and Lake Creek Forest Camp.

A cluster of alpine lakes, including John Henry Lake, Hobo Lake, and Maxwell Lake, dot the high country, linked by trails such as the Lillyville Trailhead. The map records a landscape of high-altitude meadows and ridges, where natural landmarks like Hunter Falls and Cold Spring provide critical points of reference for those navigating the upper reaches of the Lostine River canyon and its surrounding peaks.
