1971 Map of Horseshoe Bend

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The John Day River snakes through the high desert of the Columbia Plateau, carving the dramatic loop of Horseshoe Bend along the boundary of Gilliam and Sherman Counties. This 1971 survey reveals a landscape of deep, branching drainages like Jackknife Canyon and Hannafin Canyon that feed toward the river valley. The settlement of Kent sits on the western edge of the quadrangle, serving as a focal point for local industry and infrastructure.
