About this map

Monument sits at the confluence where Cottonwood Cr joins the North Fork John Day River in Grant County. This high-desert terrain is characterized by dramatic elevations like Monument Mountain and Franklin Mtn, which define the northern skyline. The settlement itself is a concentrated hub of local history, containing the Monument Cem and the Po, while the nearby Monument Municipal Airport and the Thomas Cavender Reservoir indicate the modern infrastructure of this rural landscape.

To the northwest, the map captures a portion of the Umatilla National Forest, transitioning into deep drainages like Cupper Canyon and Irvin Canyon. Named landmarks such as Jack of Clubs and Hell Fire Flat provide specific points of reference for those researching the land use of the region. The map also traces a network of remote access points via Elzey Emery Rd and Top Rd, illustrating how the community connects across the river valleys and mountain ridges.
