2011 Map of Troy

About this map

The confluence of the Wenaha River and the Grande Ronde River anchors the small settlement of Troy, located at a critical river junction in this corner of the Pacific Northwest. The landscape is defined by high plateaus and deep incisions, where upland features like Grouse Flat and Powwatka Ridge provide space for isolated communities such as Bartlett and Grouse. A network of winding mountain roads, including Grouse Flat Rd and Troy Rd, connects these remote outposts across the steep terrain of Squaw Canyon and Lower Trail Canyon. Local history and genealogy are anchored at the Bartlett Cemetery, while several springs like Dan Cold Spring and Colpitts Spring mark reliable water sources in the rugged back-country. The transition from the high ridges of Eden Ridge to the river bottoms illustrates the traditional land use patterns of Wallowa County, where settlement is dictated by the dramatic topography of the canyonlands.
