About this map

Wallowa National Forest land defines this corner of Northeast Oregon, where high ridges and deep canyons create a complex drainage network. The landscape is marked by a series of prominent elevations, including Poison Point, Fairchild Point, and Mitchell Ridge, which separate the headwaters of numerous creeks. Water sources are critical in this high-elevation terrain, as evidenced by the dense concentration of named springs like Poison Spring, Fairchild Spring, and Yandall Spring.

Remote Forest Service roads, such as Nat For Dev Rd 4625 and Nat For Dev Rd 140, provide the only access through the timbered draws and open ridges. Significant water features like Devils Run Cr and Summit Cr carve through the topography, while the Cutout Reservoir serves as a rare point of managed water storage. The map captures an area dominated by natural resource management and traditional backcountry use, far from major population centers.
