About this map

Salmon Fork Thirtymile Cr and Thirtymile Cr carve through the high country where Wheeler and Gilliam counties meet in this 2020 survey. The landscape is defined by a dense network of drainage systems, including Elbow Canyon, Hawk Canyon, and Papersack Canyon, which feed into the primary creek beds. The southern portion of the map transitions into the Umatilla National Forest, reflecting the managed timberlands characteristic of this part of Oregon.

Remote infrastructure is sparse, yet critical landmarks like the Kinzua Airport and the Gun Club Canyon area signify local land use. Distinctive terrain features such as Steamboat Rock and Rettie Butte provide navigation points across the broken ground. An intricate system of mountain roads, including Lost Valley Rd and Hoover Creek Rd, provides the only access through these high-elevation basins and ridges like Oxhead Ridge.
