2014 Map of Sherod Meadows

About this map

Sherod Meadows sits within the protected landscape of the Wallowa National Forest, a region defined by its complex network of named ridges and mountain springs. The terrain is marked by significant topographical landmarks such as Powwatka Ridge, Washboard Ridge, and Deer Ridge, which dictate the drainage patterns of numerous small waterways. Of particular interest to those tracing the lore of the region are the many distinctively named water sources, including Yellow Jacket Spring, Fourth of July Spring, and Rockwall Spring. These labels, alongside creeks like Straight Whisky Cr, suggest a history of seasonal grazing or early forest service camps. The presence of routes like Tick Hill Rd and Troy Rd provides a look at the established access points through the forest during the early 21st century.
