2011 Map of Ione North

About this map

Willow Creek flows through the southern portion of this landscape, anchoring the settlement of Ione, where the Ione Post Office serves the local community. The terrain is defined by significant landmarks such as Ella Butte to the east and the deep incision of Rietmann Canyon. This 2011 survey reveals a rural infrastructure of named roads that reflect the area's homesteading and ranching heritage, including Dave Rietmann Rd, Stefani Rd, and Jordan-Grade Rd. Genealogists will find notable burial sites at Highview Cemetery, located just north of the town center, and the more remote Petteys Cemetery situated in the southeastern hills. The intersection of local drainages like Lorraine Creek with established transit corridors like the Ione-Boardman Rd illustrates the historical relationship between the water-scarce landscape and the development of eastern Oregon transport routes.
