The high desert landscape of Shaniko and Antelope is defined by deep drainages and volcanic buttes in this mid-1960s survey. As the boundary between Wasco and Jefferson counties winds through the terrain, the map reveals a history of extraction and ranching. Mining operations are concentrated in the south, including the Oregon King Mine, Ruby Mine, and Queen Oregon Mines. These sites, along with the isolated Donnybrook settlement, indicate a regional economy built on the geology of the area.
