2014 Map of Wallowa

About this map

Wallowa stands at the confluence of several vital watercourses and transport routes in northeastern Oregon. The Wallowa River and its intricate system of irrigation, including the Lower Valley Ditch and Chamberlin Ditch, support the agricultural operations across Lower Valley and Diamond Prairie. The map highlights the intersection of public lands and local history, where the Wallowa National Forest meets the protected sites of the Nez Perce National Historical Park. Evidence of early settlement is found at the Bramlet Memorial Cem and Wallowa Cem, while the landscape shifts from the low-lying Elk Flat to the prominent peak of Smith Mountain. The layout of the town and surrounding canyons like Goebel Canyon reflects a community deeply integrated with the surrounding forest and ranching terrain.
