2014 Map of Lefevre Prairie

About this map

Lefevre Prairie and the surrounding high country of the Umatilla National Forest dominate this landscape where the boundaries of Gilliam, Morrow, and Wheeler counties converge. The terrain is defined by a series of deep drainages including Pullen Canyon, Big Dutch Canyon, and Little Dutch Canyon that cut through the plateaus. Settled life in this high-elevation environment is centered around the Lonerock Cem and the small network of roads like Lonerock Rd and Buttermilk Rd. Water sources are critical in this dry, dissected landscape, marked by named features such as Brandenburg Reservoir and Perry Spring. The presence of several open upland areas, such as Camas Prairie and Pool Prairie, suggests a land utilized for seasonal grazing and forest management within the protected federal lands.
