About this map

Lonerock sits at the northern end of this high-plateau landscape, tucked into the valley of Lone Rock Creek where Robinette Creek joins. The settlement pattern reflects the area's agricultural and resource-based history, with a small Cem positioned on a hillside overlooking the surrounding drainages. Further south, the map reveals the industrial legacy of the region at Cone Mill, located along Buckhorn Creek.

The terrain is defined by deep incisions like Boone Canyon and Stahl Canyon, which carve through the high ground of Oxhead Ridge and the broad expanse of Lost Valley. Near the southern edge of the map, the Umatilla National Forest begins, where the terrain becomes even more complex. An Old Railroad Grade follows the contours of the southern canyons, indicating a former transport route for timber or livestock that once connected these isolated uplands to broader markets.
