2011 Map of Poison Point

About this map

Bear Ridge and Hilton Ridge define the high-altitude terrain of this corner of Wallowa County, where a complex network of drainage systems feeds into the regional watershed. This 2011 survey illustrates a landscape carved by numerous waterways, including the winding paths of Chesnimnus Creek, Summit Creek, and Devils Run Creek. The topography is marked by significant landmarks like Poison Point and Fairchild Point, which overlook deep depressions such as Big Canyon and Wild Canyon. Isolated water sources like Howard Spring and Mitchell Spring are critical points in this upland environment, while the Cutout Reservoir represents a managed water feature near the southern boundary. A limited road network, including Buckhorn Rd and Cold Springs Rd, provides the primary access through this remote forest and rangeland.
