2011 Map of Lonerock

About this map

Lonerock anchors the northeastern corner of this Gilliam County landscape, where the town site sits at the confluence of Lone Rock Creek and Robinette Creek. The topography is defined by deeply incised drainages and high plateaus, including Oxhead Ridge and Lost Valley. The area’s ranching and agricultural history is reflected in the network of rural routes such as Lost Valley Rd and Lonerock Rd, which navigate the steep descent into various canyons. Small-scale industrial and community footprints appear in the southern half of the quadrangle, notably the Cone Mill site near Buckhorn Creek and the Lost Valley Cemetery located on a rise overlooking Lost Valley Creek. Natural water sources like Big Spring remain critical landmarks in this arid environment, punctuating a terrain marked by prominent geographic features like Stahl Canyon and Boone Canyon.
