2020 Map of Zumwalt

About this map

Zumwalt sits at the southern end of a high-country landscape dominated by ranching infrastructure and drainage systems in Wallowa County. This portion of the Wallowa National Forest is defined by a series of parallel ridges, including Hilton Ridge, Cayuse Ridge, and Mitchell Ridge, which separate deep gulches and draws. Water management is central to the area's land use, as seen in the distribution of stock-water sources like Berland Reservoir, Thomason Meadow Reservoir, and Purvis Ponds. The map reveals a network of rural roads such as Pine Creek Rd and Fence Line Rd that navigate the high plateaus between Chesnimnus Cr and Camp Cr. This modern survey documents the contemporary boundaries of public and private lands, showing how the topography of Long Ridge and Vance Draw continues to dictate movement and agricultural settlement in this corner of Oregon.
