2023 Map of Ione South

About this map

Willow Creek and Rhea Creek carve through the high plateaus of Morrow County, defining the agricultural and transit patterns of this interior Oregon landscape. The small settlement of Ione sits at the northern edge of this sheet where the terrain begins its ascent toward prominent landmarks like Jordan Butte. The map reveals a network of roads named for local families and landmarks, such as Howton Rd, Kincaid Ln, and Halverson Ln, illustrating the historical division of the land into townships and ranges. To the southeast, the steep descent of Rattlesnake Grade emphasizes the dramatic elevation changes that characterize the region. The map also documents notable geographic features including King Canyon, Brenner Canyon, and the appropriately named Ke-ck Canyon, while the presence of Liberty School Rd suggests the historical locations of early community centers in this rural expanse.
