1967 Map of Shamrock Creek

About this map

Wallowa National Forest dominates this 1960s topographic landscape, defined by a complex network of canyons and high ridges in Wallowa County. The drainage patterns of Shamrock Creek and Courtney Creek carve through the terrain, separated by prominent landforms like Day Ridge and Kuhn Ridge. While the area is largely characterized by its natural features, specific water resources such as Foundation Spring, Burnt Spring, and the Wade Pond catchment indicate the importance of water management for livestock or forest service use in this environment. A lone Gravel Pit and the Joseph Canyon Viewpoint suggest limited human infrastructure, primarily focused on forest transit and resource extraction. Significant elevation changes are mapped with precision, showing the steep descent toward Mud Creek in the north and the isolated Reed Reservoir tucked into a southern canyon fold.
