2011 Map of Wildcat Point

About this map

The Middle Fork John Day River carves a central path through this section of Grant County, Oregon, defining a landscape of deep drainages and high points like Wildcat Point. To the northwest, the Willow Creek Cemetery serves as a lone marker of local history near the base of Willow Creek Butte. The map reveals a complex network of forest and county roads, including the Long Creek-Pass Creek Rd and Slide Creek Rd, which navigate the steep terrain between Paradise Canyon and Bum Canyon. These routes provide access to various tributary systems such as Little Indian Creek and Middle Fork Pass Creek, illustrating how the waterway network dictated the placement of early infrastructure and land use in this part of the Blue Mountains region.
