About this map

Wallowa National Forest land defines this corner of Northeast Oregon, where the drainage network of Joseph Cr carves through a high-elevation landscape of ridges and deep canyons. The terrain is marked by distinctive landmarks like Haystack Rock and high points such as Table Mountain, which is surrounded by numerous water sources including Table Mountain Spring, Milk Spring, and Wilder Spring.

Evidence of human transit and livestock management appears through the system of Forest Service routes, including Nat For Dev Rd 4650, providing access to remote features like Thorn Hollow and Trap Canyon. The map reveals a nomenclature tied to the challenges of the landscape, seen in the naming of Starvation Ridge and Miller Ridge. This 2017 survey details the complex hydrography of the region, from the Aspen Fork to the Sleepy Bill Fork, essential for understanding the seasonal water cycles in this part of Wallowa County.
