1970 Map of Devils Backbone

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Devils Backbone dominates this high-plateau landscape, where the Sherman and Gilliam County border follows the meandering course of the John Day River. This arid canyon country is defined by deep incisions like Sixmile Canyon and Scott Canyon, creating a terrain where water sources are critical, as indicated by numerous unnamed Springs and a Cistern at the head of a canyon.
