1992 Map of Day Basin

USGS Topo · Published 1997

About this map

Nelson Place and the settlement of Antoine sit at the intersection of public lands and private ranching interests in this high-desert landscape. The terrain is defined by the sharp divide of Pine Ridge and the Ochogo National Forest boundary, where numerous gulches like Muir Gulch and Juniper Gulch drain into the wider valleys. Significant water sources such as Home Sweet Home Spring and Breathing Spring punctuate the arid basins, indicating the vital importance of natural springs for livestock and settlement in the region. To the north, the John Day Fossil Beds Nat Mon borders the county line, marking a transition from active timber and grazing lands to protected geological resources. The map also records locally named landmarks like Mcclanahan Meadow and Windy Point, which reflect the area's history of land use and navigation.
