About this map

Rock Creek and its many ephemeral tributaries carve a complex drainage system through this high plateau country on the border of Gilliam and Morrow counties. The landscape is defined by deep incisions like Cayuse Canyon and Box Elder Canyon, where isolated water sources such as Box Elder Spring and Waterfalls provided essential resources in an otherwise arid environment.

Modern infrastructure and remnants of earlier activity intersect near Devils Gap. A large-scale Pipeline and various Jeep Trails traverse the terrain, alongside utilitarian features like Storage Bins and a Borrow Pit. Of particular interest to local historians are named locations such as Ghost Camp near Harris Canyon and the Weyte Park Rest Area located along Sixmile Creek in the southeastern portion of the quadrangle.
