2023 Map of Wallowa

About this map

Wallowa serves as the primary hub in this corner of Northeast Oregon, where the Wallowa River flows through a broad valley floor before the landscape rises sharply into the Wallowa National Forest. The map documents a structured agricultural and ranching landscape, defined by an intricate network of irrigation features such as the Lower Valley Ditch, Chamberlin Ditch, and Clear Water Ditch. These waterways support the outlying settlements of Lower Valley and Diamond Prairie, illustrating the area's long-standing reliance on managed water systems. The topography is marked by significant elevations like Smith Mtn and Tick Hill, with deep incisions from Big Canyon and Goebel Canyon carving into the southern high ground. Family and local history are anchored by sites such as Bramlet Memorial Cem and Wallowa Cem, while the presence of the Post Office and Sasser Airstrip Rd highlights the community's infrastructure.
