2014 Map of Paradise

About this map

The high plateau and canyon country where Washington and Oregon meet is defined by the rural settlement of Paradise and its high-elevation topography. Situated in Asotin County, Washington, and Wallowa County, Oregon, this area is characterized by dramatic elevation shifts from the drainages of Joseph Cr and Deer Cr up to the heights of Rye Ridge and Horse Pasture Ridge. The map documents the localized transportation network, centered on Paradise Rd and the Beach Ranch Airport, serving as a vital link for the high-country ranches and the Wallowa National Forest. Local history is anchored by the Paradise Cem, while the landscape is punctuated by numerous seasonal water sources and landmarks like Soap Flat, Deep Canyon, and Tamarack Creek Spring. The alignment of Josiah Cr and Peavine Cr through Brushy Gulch illustrates the complex drainage patterns that have shaped land use and ranching boundaries in this border region.
