USGS Topo · Published 1948About this map
The John Day River winds through this high desert region, carving a deep canyon landscape where the complex geology of the Painted Hills and Sutton Mountain is clearly visible. This survey, based on data from 1916 and the early 1920s, shows the area when isolated cattle ranches and small schools formed the backbone of local society. Notable outposts like Clarno and Mitchell serve as primary hubs, while the landscape is dotted with family operations such as the Old Frizzell Ranch and Wagner Ranch.
