2024 Map of Wapshilla Creek

About this map

The Salmon River carves a deep path through the borderlands of Idaho and Oregon, defining the eastern edge of this terrain near its confluence with the Snake Wild and Scenic River. High above the riverbanks, Craig Mtn and Wapshilla Ridge dominate the landscape, providing a topographical view of the Nez Perce and Wallowa county lines. The small settlement at Geneva Bar sits along the river's edge, a notable landing point in an area characterized by steep draws and ridges. A network of remote paths like the Jim Creek Trail and Cherry Creek Trl connect high-elevation water sources such as Coyote Spring and Cold Spring. The presence of the Wapshilla Airport on a flat bench above Wapshilla Rapids suggests the vital role of light aircraft in accessing these isolated canyon reaches and the surrounding Wallowa National Forest.
