1990 Map of Kimberly

About this map

The confluence of the John Day River and the North Fork John Day River anchors this landscape in eastern Oregon, showing the terrain as it was recorded during field checks in the late 1980s. The small settlement of Kimberly sits near this junction, serving as a rare point of human habitation in a region dominated by sharp relief and canyon systems. To the north, the boundary of the Umatilla National Forest encompasses high points like Tamarack Mtn and Little Tamarack Spring. The map documents a rugged drainage network characterized by deep incisions like Bologna Canyon and its western and eastern branches. Land use is largely defined by the geography, with the 32 Ranch and the distinctive China Hat Peak standing as landmarks in a territory divided by the Wheeler and Grant county line.
