About this map

Spray sits as the central settlement on this Wheeler County landscape, positioned along a sharp bend of the John Day River. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainages and high points, including Sourdough Ridge to the north and Sentinel Peak to the southeast. To the west, the topography rises toward Harper Mtn, while the river valley is flanked by deep cuts like Town Gulch and Branson Canyon.

Transport and land use patterns are grounded in the local topography, with Parish Cr Rd and Kahler Basin Rd following natural contours. For those researching local heritage, the Spray Cem provides a specific point of interest just west of the town center. The map also documents numerous named hollows and valleys, such as Haystack Valley, Long Hollow, and Balm Hollow, which illustrate the complex relief of this portion of the John Day Basin.
