Study Area Summary
Wallowa-Whitman National Forest Wild and Scenic River Inventory Documentation Last Updated 03/25/2010 BIG SHEEP CREEK A suitability study was conducted on Big Sheep Creek in the Wild and Scenic River Study report and final legislative environmental impact statement for eight rivers administered by the Wallowa-Whitman National forest. In that study, Big Sheep Creek was not found suitable as a Wild and Scenic river. Given this finding of unsuitability, this stream is no longer considered eligible, regardless of the presence of outstanding remarkable values. Location: This study focuses on the potential eligibility and classification of Big Sheep Creek from its headwaters to the Imnaha Wild and Scenic River Boundary (near the confluence of Big Sheep Creek and the Imnaha River, Section 20, T. 1 N., R. 48 E., W.M.). The current boundary of the Imnaha Wild and Scenic River incorporates 1/8th of a mile of Big Sheep Creek. River Mileage: Studied: 49.1 Eligible: 49.1 Eligibility Determination of Free-flow: The study segment contains two small, 3- to 5-foot diversion dams which are used seasonally to divert water for irrigation and power generation (see Fisheries and Water Development sections). Despite these low dams or diversion works, the river is found to be free-flowing. SCENERY Determination of Outstandingly Remarkable Values: Big Sheep Creek begins above 8,000 feet on the eastern edge of the Eagle Cap Wilderness in the Wallowa Mountains and flows for 40 miles to the Imnaha River. The upper portion is composed of the North, Middle, and South Forks, which are respectively, 2, 4, and 3 miles in length. -

R6-NR-ECOL-TP-03-04 To My Packers Field Assistants Access to remote subalpine portions of the mountains often required special assistance from packers for the equipment, gear, and supplies Over the years there have been many who have assisted me with necessary for 8 to 10-day hitches. Although the majority of the plots were access into remote subalpine portions of the mountains enabling me to established far and high above base camps, these experienced packers conduct field studies.
