2023 Map of Teepee Butte

About this map

Wallowa National Forest land defines this remote drainage system along the Washington-Oregon state line. The landscape is characterized by a series of prominent divides, including Teepee Ridge and Wildhorse Ridge, which channel water toward Joseph Creek and its various tributaries. This 2023 survey illustrates the modern intersection of traditional forest management and recreation, where backcountry routes like Cottonwood Trl and Trail Creek Trl provide access across steep terrain like Lent Canyon. Small, localized water sources such as Huffman Camp Spring and Wildhorse Spring provide vital points of interest for those tracking historical land use and campsite locations in the high country. Along the eastern edge, Bear Ridge and Bear Flat stand above the drainage basins of Cottonwood Creek and Bear Creek, marking the transition into Asotin County, Washington.
