2011 Map of Keeney Point

About this map

Keeney Point and the high ridges of Grant County define this landscape of deep drainages and sharp relief as it appeared in 2011. The area is dominated by the complex watershed of Long Creek, with numerous tributaries such as Slide Creek, Hog Creek, and Keeney Creek carving into the terrain. Distinctive landmarks like Kahler Butte and the broad reaches of Whisky Flat and Jonas Flat suggest a high-plateau geography where traditional ranching or grazing likely took place. The network of Forest Service and county roads, including Keeney Forks Rd and Hog Creek Rd, provides the primary access through these canyons. This survey documents the intersection of named topographical features like Cyclone Canyon and Doe Canyon, illustrating the remote character of eastern Oregon's mountain country before the shift toward more modern digital mapping standards.
