2020 Map of Izee

About this map

Izee sits at the heart of this central Oregon landscape, where the South Fork John Day Wild and Scenic River carves a deep valley through the high country. This cattle-ranching region, characterized by its dramatic gulches and timbered peaks, is bounded by the Malheur National Forest to the north and south. Local landmarks like Schoolhouse Gulch and the Izee Cem reflect the rural heritage of the area, while names such as Moonshine Alley, Snake Den, and Hole-in-the-Ground suggest a colorful history of settlement and exploration in Grant County. The map details a complex network of forest and county roads, including the Izee-Paulina Ln, which connects isolated flats and ridges. High elevations are marked by Harrison Mtn, Morgan Mtn, and volcanic features like Sheep Creek Butte, defining the drainage patterns for numerous seasonal creeks like Poison Cr and Elkhorn Cr.
