2017 Map of Buttermilk Canyon
USGS Topo · Published 2017About this map
The High Desert border between Gilliam and Morrow counties is defined by a complex network of deeply incised drainages and elevated plateaus. Hale Ridge and Rood Hill stand as prominent landmarks above a landscape carved by Rock Cr and its tributaries, including Middle Fork Rock Cr and Wick Cr. This area of north-central Oregon shows the signature patterns of dry-land geographic naming, where nearly every significant canyon and hollow carries a family name, likely reflecting early homesteaders and ranchers who managed these lands.
