2011 Map of Johnson Heights

About this map

Johnson Heights serves as a central point of reference in this Wheeler County landscape, which is defined by a dense network of watercourses and topographical landmarks. The terrain is dominated by Steamboat Mountain and the sheltered lowlands of Indian Hollow and Smith Hollow. Water drainage patterns are clearly defined by the many winding tributaries, including Hardscrabble Creek, Tamarack Creek, and the playfully named Hide and Seek Creek. Transportation in this area is sparse, primarily centered on Parrish Creek Rd, which follows the path of Parrish Creek through the valley. This 2011 survey records a remote part of Oregon where natural features and family-named landmarks provide the primary structure for the region's geography.
