2014 Map of Izee

About this map

The Izee settlement occupies a remote high-elevation basin in eastern Oregon, serving as a focal point for ranching and forest management. Situated at the junction of the S Fork John Day River and several drainages like Poison Cr and Buck Cr, this area is defined by the sharp transition between valley bottomlands and the timbered slopes of the Malhuer National Forest. Genealogists will find the Izee Cem located just west of the town center, while names like Schoolhouse Gulch and Moonshine Alley offer clues to the local geography and historical social patterns. The terrain is characterized by prominent peaks including Harrison Mtn and Morgan Mtn, which overlook a network of forest development roads and traditional travel routes like Izee-Paulina Ln. Drainage patterns are complex here, with features such as Waterspout Draw and Brisbois Gulch feeding into the river system.
