2024 Map of Ione North

About this map

Ione sits along the southern edge of this Morrow County landscape, where the seasonal flows of Willow Creek and Lorraine Creek meet the arid plateau of Eastern Oregon. The terrain is defined by a series of steep drainages, including Fourmile Canyon, Sixmile Canyon, and Rietmann Canyon, which carve through the high ground towards the valley floor. High points like Ella Butte overlook a network of rural routes that follow both section lines and natural topography, such as Ione-Boardman Rd and Johnson Grade Ln. For those tracing local genealogy or land ownership, the map provides precise locations for several burial grounds, including Lorraine Cem, Petteys Cem, and Highview Cem. The naming of local infrastructure, from Dave Rietmann Rd to Stefani Rd, reflects the established ranching and farming families who have shaped this portion of the Columbia Basin.
