1967 Map of Wood Butte

About this map

Powwatka Ridge and a series of dramatic geographic fingers define this section of the Wallowa National Forest during the late 1960s. The landscape is characterized by steep drainage systems where Wildcat Creek, Mud Creek, and Buck Creek carve through the high country. Small-scale human activity is visible at the Olson settlement and along the Courtney Trail, indicating the area's use for forestry and recreation. The mapping of Wood Butte and nearby Middle Point provides precise elevation data for the ridges that separate these vital watersheds, such as Kuhn Ridge and Washboard Ridge. This survey is particularly useful for understanding the trail and road networks that provided access to the deep canyons and high ridges of Wallowa County before more modern developments.
