2023 Map of Riley

About this map

Silver Creek Valley and its surrounding high-desert terrain define this modern survey of the area near Riley. The landscape transitions from the riparian corridor of Silver Creek to the prominent heights of Juniper Ridge and the volcanic profile of Shields Butte. Water management is central to the geography here, evidenced by the Chickahominy Reservoir and the drainage of Chickahominy Creek across the central flats. Local history and genealogy are anchored by the Silver Creek Cem located along Best Ln in the northwest. The road network, including Silver Creek Rd and Dick Miller Rd, traces the routes between canyons and basins, while features like Gumboot Canyon and Cream Lake provide specific landmarks within the township and range grid of Harney County.
