2017 Map of Poison Point

About this map

Wallowa National Forest land defines this corner of northeast Oregon, characterized by a network of high ridges and canyon drainage systems. The landscape is marked by landmarks such as Poison Point and Fairchild Point, while water sources are frequently noted as named springs, including Fairchild Spring, Poison Spring, and Hideaway Spring. These localized water points and the presence of man-made features like Cutout Reservoir and Rice Corral Reservoir suggest a landscape managed for livestock or wildlife within the rugged timberland. The map provides a look at the backcountry infrastructure of the early 21st century, where routes like Buckhorn Rd and Cold Springs Rd serve as the primary conduits through the forest. Significant topographic features such as Big Canyon, Wild Canyon, and Hilton Ridge illustrate the complex drainage patterns feeding into Chesnimnus Cr and Devils Run Cr.
