1943 Map of John Day
USGS Topo · Published 1943About this map
Canyon City and the neighboring settlement of John Day anchor this 1943 survey, which documents the mining and ranching economy of Grant County during the mid-twentieth century. The landscape is heavily marked by industrial history, featuring numerous extraction sites like the Potato Patch Mine and several labeled as defunct, such as the Golden West Mine (abandoned) and Iron King Mine (abandoned). These sites, concentrated along the flanks of Little Canyon Mtn and the Strawberry Mtn range, trace the legacy of gold and mineral prospecting in the region.
