2011 Map of Kimberly

About this map

The confluence of the North Fork John Day River and the main John Day River defines this central Oregon landscape, where the small settlement of Kimberly serves as the primary focal point. Situated in a narrow valley, the town is anchored by the Kimberly Post Office, positioned just north of Johnson Creek. The terrain is characterized by dramatic elevations and deeply cut drainages, including West Bologna Canyon and East Bologna Canyon which feed into Bologna Creek. High points such as China Hat Peak and Tamarack Mountain, which is topped by the Tamarack Lookout, dominate the northern and southern horizons. A network of creeks like China Hat Creek, Balm Creek, and Ives Creek provide a detailed look at the local watershed. This 2011 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey documents the rural infrastructure and natural features of Grant County, from isolated springs like White House Spring to the winding path of Bologna Rd.
