2014 Map of Wheeler Point

About this map

Umatilla National Forest dominates this section of Wheeler County, where the high-altitude terrain is marked by a series of meadows and clearings used for grazing and land management. Distinctive open areas like Widow Meadow, Dairy Meadow, and Chasteen Meadow punctuate the timbered ridges, while higher elevations are anchored by Frizzel Mtn and Indian Mtn. The hydrology of the area is defined by small, high-country water bodies including Hubbel Lake and Clark Lake, along with numerous seasonal drainages like Buckhorn Cr and Camp Cr. A network of Forest Service roads, such as Nat For Dev Rd 030, provides access to these isolated points. Cultural history is concentrated at the Winlock Cem near Winlock Ln, representing a physical connection to the early settlers and ranching families who navigated this complex landscape of ridges and basins including Snow Basin and Wineland Canyon.
