2024 Map of Rondowa

About this map

The confluence of the Wallowa Wild and Scenic River and the Grande Ronde River defines the rugged landscape of this Union County region. This 2024 survey captures the meeting of the Umatilla National Forest and the Wallowa-National Forest, where high canyons and forest boundaries dictate the layout of the land. Deep within the valley, the Lookingglass Fish Hatchery sits along Lookingglass Creek, a significant water feature that drains the northern reaches of the quadrangle. Local family history is rooted in the high ground at Mount Pleasant Cem, while the terrain is etched by deep cuts like Rysdam Canyon and Duncan Canyon. From the waters of Bearwallow Spring to the southern reach of Waller Reservoir 5, the map details a wilderness interface where forest roads like Lookout Mountain Rd and Palmer Junction Rd provide the only access to these remote canyonlands.
