About this map

The Strawberry Mountain Wilderness defines the southern portion of this landscape, where the high peaks of the Strawberry Range drop away toward deep drainage basins. High-elevation landmarks like Pine Creek Mtn and Baldy Mtn anchor the central terrain, overlooking a network of headwaters including Pine Creek and the Norton Fork. The geography is characterized by distinct geological formations such as the Bear Skull Rims and Yellow Jacket Ridge, illustrating the complex volcanic and erosional history of the Malheur National Forest.

In the north, Halls Lake sits beneath the ridges near Gand Saddle, while the lower elevations to the southeast feature Buckhorn Meadow and Indian Creek Butte. This survey provides a precise look at the hydrology of the region, from the North Fork Wall Creek to the various springs like Anchor Spring and Twin Springs that sustain the local ecosystem. The lack of modern development emphasizes the primitive character of the wilderness area and its protected status within the national forest.
