2014 Map of Seneca

About this map

The town of Seneca serves as a focal point in this high-desert landscape of Grant County, situated at the edge of Bear Valley. This 2014 survey captures the community's layout near the Seneca Emergency Airstrip and the John Day-Burns Hwy. The surrounding terrain is defined by the steep rises of the Aldrich Mountains and Starr Ridge to the north, which are deeply integrated into the Malhuer National Forest. A complex water management system is evident across the valley floor, featuring the Southworth Ditch and the Silvies River, along with irrigation and storage landmarks like Bull Run Reservoir and Rex Reservoir. For genealogists and local historians, the Southworth Cem stands as a significant point of interest west of the town center. The map reflects a landscape where timber and ranching history meet modern forest management, evidenced by the extensive network of National Forest Development roads like Logan Valley Ln.
