About this map

Toney Butte rises prominently over a landscape defined by deep canyons and seasonal watercourses in this recent survey of Wheeler County. The northern boundary is marked by the winding path of the John Day River, which flows past Clark Canyon and Camel Hump. This area is characterized by significant topographic relief, from the heights of Keys Mtn to the unusual geological formation known as The Blue Banks.

Genealogists and local historians will find the Richmond Cem located near Pine Canyon in the northeastern corner of the map, while ranchers and land researchers can trace the networks of springs and creeks, including Quaking Aspen Spring, May Spring, and the long reach of Shoofly Cr. The map details various family-named landmarks such as Mabe Hill and Scott Butte, alongside a rugged network of service roads and tracks like Cherry Ln and Tap Horn Ln.
