1988 Map of Jennies Peak

About this map

The John Day River carves through this high-desert landscape on the border of Wasco, Jefferson, and Wheeler Counties, defining a region of dramatic verticality and drainage. The terrain is dominated by a complex network of canyons, most notably Rattlesnake Canyon and Sluice Canyon, which feed toward the river valley. Named peaks like Jennies Peak and Amine Peak provide prominent landmarks for the area's sparse human footprint, which is largely limited to unimproved roads and remote outposts such as Robinson.
