2014 Map of Cecil

About this map

Willow Creek carves a deep path through the plateau of northern Oregon, anchoring the small settlements of Cecil and Morgan. This arid landscape is defined by its dramatic topography, where canyons like Fourmile Canyon and Schoolhouse Canyon cut through the high ground towards the water. The map reveals a network of rural roads and lanes, many bearing family names like Palmateer Rd and Rietmann Ln, which trace the contours of the land. Evidence of the area's pioneer history is found at the Morgan Cemetery and along Immigrant Ln, reflecting the historic movement of people through this region. Notable landmarks such as Saddle Butte and the sharp turn of Horseshoe Bend provide distinct orientation points within the drainage basins of Brandy Creek and Ely Canyon.
