1952 Map of Ritter

About this map

The Middle Fork John Day River carves through this northern Grant County landscape, serving as a focal point for settlement and industry in the early 1950s. The community of Ritter stands near the center of the sheet, defined by the presence of Ritter Hot Springs and a Gaging Station on the riverbank. Local education and community life are marked by the Threemile School, Ritter Sch, and Range School, while the Ritter Cemetery provides a primary reference for genealogical research in the area. Evidence of the timber economy is visible at the Lumber Mill located near West Fork Meadow Brook. The terrain transitions from the high elevations of the Umatilla National Forest and Meadow Brook Summit down into the complex drainage systems of Twelvemile Creek and Long Creek. Notable landmarks such as Sugar Loaf Mtn and Ritter Butte overlook the narrow basins and gulches that dictated the placement of early mountain roads and the Eightmile Trail.
