About this map

Antone serves as the focal point of this Wheeler County landscape, situated where the terrain transitions into the high country of the Ochoco National Forest. The mapping reveals a history of resource extraction and ranching, evidenced by the presence of the Waterman Mine and Andrews Mine in the northeastern section, alongside more isolated features like the Erickson Ranch and Mascall Corrals. A small Cem (cemetery) located near Mule Gulch provides a quiet connection to the early families who settled this drainage system.

The hydrological network is well-defined by the West Branch and numerous springs, including Leggins Spring and Tate Spring, which were vital for sustaining local livestock operations. Higher elevations are dominated by landmarks such as Spanish Peak, while the man-made influence on the landscape is visible in the Rock Creek Lake and a remote Landing Strip near Fred Creek. These features illustrate the intersection of traditional land use and modern infrastructure in rural Oregon during the late 20th century.
