2014 Map of Wenaha Forks

About this map

Wenaha Forks serves as the central confluence of this remote Wallowa County landscape, where the North Fork Wenaha River and South Fork Wenaha River meet within the boundaries of the Umatilla National Forest. The topography is defined by a series of prominent high-elevation features including Sawtooth Ridge, Dexter Ridge, and Trapper Ridge, which dictate the drainage patterns of numerous creeks like Slick Ear Cr and Jaussaud Cr. This 2014 survey documents the modern road network essential for forest management, such as Nat For Dev RD 270 and Timothy Spring Rd. These routes provide access to isolated points like Elk Flat and Trapper Spring, reflecting a wilderness area primarily utilized for conservation and seasonal transit rather than permanent settlement.
