1987 Map of Shaniko Summit

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

Shaniko Summit rises as a prominent landmark in this high plateau region of Wasco County, Oregon, during the late 20th century. The landscape is defined by a network of deep drainage systems, including Deep Canyon, Chain Canyon, and the appropriately named Deadman Canyon in the southwest. Settlement in this arid stretch is sparse, anchored by the town of Shaniko in the northeast corner and smaller holdings such as Rooper Ranch. The map reveals a reliance on essential water sources, indicated by numerous unnamed Springs and named flows like Ward Creek and Cottonwood Creek. A solitary Pipeline cuts across the northern townships, contrasting with the many 4wd tracks that serve as the primary means of navigating the canyons and hills. Local landmarks like Courthouse Rock and Cross Hill provide orientation points for researchers and genealogists tracing the pastoral and ranching history of this high-desert territory.
