About this map

Thirtymile Creek and its tributary, the Salmon Fork Thirtymile Creek, carve through this Wheeler County landscape, defining a network of deep canyons and high ridges. The map shows a region shaped by grazing and rural infrastructure, centered around the small settlements of Edwards and Stewarts. A notable aviation landmark, the Kinzua General Aviation Recreational Airport, sits in the southern portion of the sheet near Gun Club Canyon.

The terrain is marked by distinctive geological features, from the prominence of Rettie Butte to the secluded Lost Valley and the aptly named Steamboat Rock. Historical transit patterns are visible through the network of winding routes such as Old Trail Fork Rd and Hoover Creek Rd, which navigate the complex topography of Comstock Basin and Dead Horse Canyon. This survey captures the remote character of the Oregon interior as it appeared in 2011.
