1950 Map of Ritter

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

The Middle Fork John Day River and North Fork John Day River dominate this mid-century landscape in the high country of Eastern Oregon. The settlement of Elk Grove and the small community infrastructure around the Ritter Sch provide a look at rural life within the Umatilla National Forest just after the war. A clear pattern of mid-20th-century resource extraction and community management is evident, marked by the presence of a Lumber Mill near the river and the Ritter Grange nearby. Social and educational life is anchored by remote landmarks like Threemile School and Range School, while the Ritter Cemetery offers a point of interest for genealogists tracing local families. The terrain is deeply incised by countless drainages such as Eightmile Creek and Twelvemile Creek, flowing toward the major river forks.
