About this map

The Snake Wild and Scenic River carves a deep path through the center of this map, defining the boundary between Wallowa County, Oregon, and the Idaho counties of Adams and Idaho. This 2023 survey illustrates the dramatic verticality of Hells Canyon, where landmarks like Rock Bar and Warm Springs Bar sit at the river's edge, thousands of feet below the summits of Black Mtn and Bear Mtn.

High above the river to the west, Squirrel Prairie and Benjamin Spring provide distinct points of reference within the Wallowa National Forest. The map documents a network of high-elevation routes including the Western Rim National Recreation Trl and the Black Mountain Trl. Across the water, the terrain rises sharply toward Chimney Saddle and Two Bars in the Nez Perce National Forest, showing a landscape defined by sharp gulches and steep ridgelines.
