About this map

The settlement of Harmony sits amidst a complex network of drainage basins and deep incisions into the Columbia Plateau, as recorded in this 2020 topographic survey. The eastern boundary of the quadrangle is defined by the winding course of the John Day River, which forms the border between Sherman Co and Gilliam Co. This area is characterized by high-relief terrain featuring numerous named canyons, including Hay Canyon and Cottonwood Canyon, and the distinctive river meander known as The Gooseneck.

Regional history is preserved in naming conventions that hint at early transportation and resource management. Long-standing local landmarks such as Little Ferry Canyon, Ferry Canyon, and Owens Basin provide spatial context for land use along the river's edge. Water sources essential for early ranching and transit are identified at Kenny Spring and Willow Spring, while the rural road network, including Fairview Rd and Monkland Ln, connects the dispersed high-country features to the river valley below.
