2014 Map of Riley

About this map

Riley stands as the primary settlement hub at the junction of Us-20 and Us-395, serving as a gateway to the high desert terrain of Harney County. The landscape is defined by the vital water systems of Silver Cr and Chickahominy Cr, which support the high plains ecology and agricultural efforts around Chickahominy Reservoir. To the south, the prominent elevations of Juniper Ridge and Shields Butte rise above the drainage basins, while the northern reaches are carved by Gumboot Canyon and Dick Miller Canyon. This 2014 survey illustrates a rural infrastructure centered on ranching and travel, evidenced by local thoroughfares such as Riley Market Ln and Alfalfa Rd. For local historians and genealogists, the Silver Creek Cem is an important landmark located in the northwest, providing a physical link to the families who established themselves along these desert watercourses.
