About this map

Lonerock serves as the primary hub in this corner of North Central Oregon, situated at the confluence of Lone Rock Creek and Robinette Creek. The 1969 field-checked data captures a remote landscape where the Gilliam Co Wheeler Co line bisects deep drainages and high plateaus. The topography is defined by significant elevation changes, from the depths of Boone Canyon to the heights of Pine Ridge.

Evidence of local industry and community life appears in specific sites like Cone Mill in the southern sector and a local Cem near the village. The map detail is particularly useful for tracing early infrastructure, including a Jeep Tr and fence lines across Lost Valley. The southeastern portion is dominated by the steep, timbered slopes of the Umatilla National Forest, illustrating the transition from agricultural valley floors to protected wilderness areas.
