2011 Map of Shaniko

About this map

Shaniko serves as the primary landmark in this section of Wasco County, situated in the high desert landscape of North-Central Oregon. The town’s infrastructure, including the Shaniko Post Office, is documented alongside the sparse but vital water sources like Homestead Spring and the drainage network of Bakeoven Creek. The map provides significant genealogical value through the inclusion of the Bakeoven Cemetery and the Hinton-Ward Ranch, which reflect the region's enduring agricultural and ranching legacy. Local topography is defined by dramatic named features such as Nachter Butte, Little Dead Dog Canyon, and Mary McKinley Draw. Long-established transit routes are preserved here via Bakeoven Rd and Hoech Rd, which connect the isolated settlement of Bakeoven to the surrounding high plateau.
