1990 Map of Picture Gorge West

USGS Topo · Published 1990

About this map

The John Day River carves a dramatic path through the landscape of Wheeler and Grant counties, where the geological history of the John Day Fossil Beds National Monument is on full display. This 1990 provisional survey documents a region defined by its sharp verticality, from the towering landmark of Sheep Rock to the narrow passage of Picture Gorge in the southeast. Ranching history is deeply etched into the terrain, with family-named operations like the Cant Ranch and Humphrey Ranch positioned along the river's fertile edge.
