About this map

Lone Rock Creek carves a deep path through the high plateau of Gilliam County in this 2014 survey. The landscape is defined by its dramatic vertical relief, where several major drainage systems converge, including the Needle Fork and the Lub Fork. These waterways have sculpted a series of prominent features such as McPherson Canyon and Billy Canyon, illustrating the erosive power of these seasonal forks over millennia.

Remote rangeland access is facilitated by a network of ridge roads, including Hail Ridge Ln and Hale Ridge Rd, which trace the high points between the deep draws. The boundary between Gilliam County and Morrow County is clearly delineated, crossing through the northern and eastern portions of the quadrangle. For those studying the local geography, the map provides precise locations for named landmarks like Bruce Hollow and Pine Ridge, which stand as significant orientation points in this sparsely populated region of Oregon.
