2017 Map of Grass Valley

About this map

Grass Valley serves as the primary hub of this high-plateau landscape in Sherman County, where the grid of city streets like Market St and Mill St meets a wide network of canyon systems. The geography is defined by deep incisions in the terrain, such as Grass Valley Canyon and Cottonwood Canyon, which break the agricultural tableland. For those researching local pioneers or family ties, the Michigan Cem is a notable landmark located just south of Macks Canyon. Water sources are sparse but critical in this region, represented here by Buether Reservoir and the drainage of Finnegan Cr. The map captures a transition from town life to the expansive canyonlands of Sand Hollow and Grimes Canyon, reflecting the enduring rural character of this part of the Columbia Plateau.
