2020 Map of Susanville

About this map

Galena and Susanville sit along the winding course of the Middle Fork John Day River in this high-altitude landscape within the Malheur National Forest. The map documents a rugged drainage basin characterized by steep-sided gulches and canyons, where small settlements once served as focal points for local industry and ranching. Genealogists can identify the Galena Cem located just west of the river, while prominent landmarks like Chattanooga Mtn and Arch Rock define the local topography. The region is marked by numerous seasonal springs and creeks, including Ives Spring and Sky Scraper Spring, which feed into the primary river system. Local meadows and flats, such as Gem Meadow and Whisky Flat, illustrate the scattered pockets of level ground utilized in this mountainous Grant County terrain.
