About this map

Dayville serves as the focal point of this Grant County landscape, situated at the confluence of the John Day River and the S Fork John Day River. The geography is defined by a series of high-elevation basins and gulches, including McNulty Basin and Guyon Basin, which provide a complex network of drainage for the high desert terrain. Local water management is evident through features like the S Fork Cummings Ditch and the Nash Reservoir, reflecting the long-standing agricultural and ranching requirements of the region.

Conservation areas and public lands flank the settlement, with the John Day Fossil Beds National Monument in the northwest and the Ochoco National Forest to the south. Land surveyors and genealogists will find significant detail in the township and range boundaries, alongside family-named landmarks such as McIntire Basin and Bracken Spring. High points like Battle Creek Mtn and Table Rock dominate the horizon, while the Dayville Cem sits just west of the main town site, marking the community's historical roots.
