About this map

Toney Butte and Scott Butte anchor the central topography of this Wheeler County landscape, where the high desert terrain is carved by a complex network of canyons and gulches. The northern boundary is marked by the John Day River, which flows past the mouth of Dead Dog Canyon and Clark Canyon. Settlement patterns are sparse, defined largely by remote ranching infrastructure and the path of Or 207 as it winds through Shoofly Canyon.

Genealogists will find the Richmond Cem located in the northeast, situated near the headwaters of Tamarack Cr and Keys Reservoir. The map documents numerous family-named landmarks and geographic features such as Horse Mtn, Camel Hump, and Mabe Hill, alongside distinct geological formations like The Blue Banks. This 2014 survey serves as a precise record of water sources in an arid environment, from Quaking Aspen Spring to the seasonal drainage of Girds Cr.
