About this map

Horse Mountain and Keys Mountain dominate this Wheeler County landscape, where the John Day River cuts through the northwestern corner. The settlement of Waldron serves as a local hub near the Waldron Sch, while the community of Richmond is situated further east, notable for the Richmond Cem and its proximity to the Keys Reservoir.

Transport and land use patterns are defined by numerous 4WD tracks and trails that navigate the canyons, including Dead Dog Canyon and Black Rock Canyon. Evidence of early resource extraction and land management is visible through features like the Quaking Aspen Spring, various Quarries, and the School Section. The geological diversity is highlighted by The Blue Banks and distinctive elevations such as Toney Butte and Scott Butte, illustrating a remote ranching and mining environment in the late 1980s.
