2020 Map of Shutler Flat

About this map

Shutler Flat and the small settlement of Olex anchor this 2020 map of Gilliam County, Oregon, revealing a landscape defined by deeply incised drainage systems. The plateau is carved by numerous canyons, including French Charlie Canyon, Cow Canyon, and Juniper Canyon, which descend toward the primary watercourses of Rock Cr and Alkali Canyon. A network of named rural roads, such as Weatherford Rd, Bottemiller Ln, and Old Tree Rd, follows the section lines and topography of the high desert. This survey provides a modern view of the enduring agricultural and ranching infrastructure in North Central Oregon, illustrating how the path of E Fork Shutler Cr and the surrounding coulees shape the local transport and settlement patterns.
