2017 Map of Kimberly

About this map

Kimberly sits at the confluence of the John Day River and the North Fork John Day River, serving as a focal point for this high-desert landscape in Grant County. The topography is defined by significant elevation changes, ranging from the river banks to the heights of China Hat Peak and Tamarack Mtn. To the northeast, the Umatilla National Forest boundary marks a transition into protected timberland, while the surrounding terrain is deeply incised by drainages like East Bologna Canyon and West Bologna Canyon. Evidence of the region's spring-fed hydrology appears at White House Spring and Mitchell Spring, which have historically supported local ranching and transit. The map details a network of rural routes, including Bologna Rd and Orchard View Rd, that trace the contours of Haystack Valley and the various creeks feeding the John Day system.
