2017 Map of Wolf Creek

About this map

Davidson sits on the high plateau of Idaho County, overlooking a network of deep drainages including Chamberlain Gulch and Sawmill Gulch. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes as the land drops toward the canyon of the Snake River, which serves as the boundary between Idaho and Oregon. This 2017 survey details the complex hydrography of the river corridor, where Five Pine Rapids, Wolf Creek Rapids, and Roland Bar Rapids create a turbulent passage through the Wallowa National Forest. Local infrastructure is sparse, relying on rugged routes like Divide Creek Rd and Wolf Creek Rd to navigate between landmarks such as Windy Point and White Bird Ridge. The settlement of Ragtown Bar lies directly on the riverbank, highlighting the historic importance of these riverside benches for habitation in an otherwise vertical landscape.
