About this map

John Day River carves through the center of this high-desert landscape on the border of Wheeler and Grant counties. The area is dominated by the geological preserves of John Day Fossil Beds State Park, including the prominent Turtle Cove and Goose Rock. Human activity is marked by a network of cattle and sheep ranches along the river breaks, such as the Cant Ranch and Mascall Ranch.
