1990 Map of Mt. Misery

About this map

John Day Fossil Beds National Monument anchors the southeastern portion of this landscape, where the geology of central Oregon meets the winding path of the John Day River. This territory, surveyed for the 1990 provisional edition, reflects the drainage patterns of the high desert, characterized by numerous seasonal and perennial flows like Hide and Seek Creek, McGinnis Creek, and Deep Creek. The prominent height of Mt Misery overlooks a network of canyons and basins, including the notable Artman Basin and Bull Canyon. Small water sources such as Black Snag Springs and various named landmarks like Cathedral Rock near Devils Gulch provide specific points of reference for those studying the land use and natural landmarks within Wheeler and Grant counties.
