About this map

Wallowa National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape in Wallowa County, where the terrain is dominated by a complex network of drainage basins and ridges. The 1990 survey identifies seasonal and permanent ranching infrastructure, most notably the Swamp Creek Cow Camp and several named water sources like Miller Spring, Cold Spring, and Twin Spring. These features, along with Roberts Pond, illustrate the necessity of managed water for livestock in the backcountry. The topography is marked by significant landmarks including Starvation Ridge and Roberts Butte, while the drainage pattern shows waters moving through Joseph Creek and its many tributaries such as Chesnimnus Creek and Crow Creek. Evidence of local material extraction is found at the Gravel Pit near Little Elk Creek, showing the small-scale industrial footprint required to maintain forest access roads.
