About this map

Kimberly serves as the focal point of this Wheeler County landscape, situated at the confluence of the John Day River and the North Fork John Day River. The geography is defined by high ridges and narrow canyons, including West Bologna Canyon and East Bologna Canyon, where seasonal drainages flow toward the river valley. To the north, the terrain rises toward the timbered slopes of Umatilla National Forest, which contains landmarks such as Tamarack Mtn and Little Tamarack Mtn.

The map reveals a landscape of isolated springs and remote peaks, such as China Hat Peak overlooking the China Hat Creek drainage. Named springs like Whites House Spring and Mitchell Spring suggest the critical importance of water sources in this arid environment. Transportation is limited to a handful of primary routes like Bologna Rd and Larson Rd, which traverse the lower elevations of Haystack Valley, reflecting the area's enduring rural character.
