2017 Map of Sleepy Ridge

About this map

The Wallowa National Forest terrain dominates this 2017 survey, where a complex network of high ridges and deep drainages defines the northeastern Oregon landscape. Significant elevations are marked by landforms such as Sleepy Ridge, Summit Ridge, and the distinct Bald Knob in the south. The drainage system is particularly dense, with Sleepy Cr and its tributaries, including Medicine Cr and Hangover Cr, carving through the topography. Notable local naming conventions are evident in features like Rheumatiz Gulch, Windy Hell Canyon, and Sour Apple Flat, which provide a characterful look at how local landmarks were identified by those working the land. The map also delineates Numerous Public Land Survey System (PLSS) divisions and private boundary (PB) tracts, showing the intersection of federal forest management and historic land claims.
