1963 Map of Poison Point

About this map

The Wallowa National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape, where deep canyons and prominent ridges create a complex drainage system. Water sources are vital features in this terrain, as evidenced by the high density of named springs like Fairchild Spring, Poison Spring, and Vandall Spring. These isolated water points, along with Cut Out Reservoir and Rice Corral Reservoir, suggest a landscape historically utilized for livestock grazing within the forest boundaries.
