About this map

Wallowa National Forest defines the rugged landscape of this northern Oregon territory, characterized by a series of steep drainages and prominent upland ridges. Water sources are vital features here, with Reed Reservoir and Wade Pond appearing alongside high-elevation points like Foundation Spring and Burnt Spring. The map documents the network of primitive roads and Forest Service routes that navigate these elevations, including Shamrock Rd and the Lewiston Hwy, which provide access through the dense topography.

Terrain features like Day Ridge and Kuhn Ridge serve as the primary landmarks for this part of Wallowa County. Historically used for timber and seasonal grazing, the area is cut by numerous watercourses such as Shamrock Creek and Mud Cr. The presence of Red Fir Spring suggests the localized ecological transitions typical of the Pacific Northwest's high-country wilderness during the early twenty-first century.
