About this map

The Wallowa National Forest and Whitman National Forest converge in this high-altitude landscape of the Wallowa Mountains. This 2017 survey details a terrain defined by glacial features and an intricate hydrologic network, including alpine basins such as Steamboat Lake and Long Lake. The drainage patterns are anchored by the Minam River and the Lostine River, which cut through dramatic topographic rises like Sturgill Peak and Elkhorn Peak.

Remote landmarks such as China Cap Ridge and Glacier Mtn highlight the area's wilderness character. For researchers of the region's geography, the map identifies specific drainages like Granite Gulch and Lowry Gulch, alongside numerous high-country water bodies including Tombstone Lake, Diamond Lake, and Sky Lake. The boundary between Wallowa Co and Union Co is clearly delineated as it traverses these summits and basins.
