2017 Map of Hamilton

About this map

Hamilton and the small settlement of Courtrock anchor this survey of Grant County’s high country, where the landscape is defined by the headwaters of the John Day River basin. The terrain is marked by prominent ridges and deep drainages, including Hamilton Mtn and the sheer relief of Table Rock. A significant portion of the southeastern quadrangle is dedicated to the Malheur National Forest, reflecting the region's management for timber and grazing. Rural infrastructure is sparse, dominated by historical routes like the Hamilton to Courtrock Rd and Monument to Courtrock Rd. Local history is preserved at the Hamilton Cem and the small enclave of Fox Valley in the south. The complex hydrography, from Leather Spring to W Fork Deer Cr, illustrates the vital water sources that have sustained these mountain ranching and forest communities for generations.
