Wheeler County elevation and terrain tools
Eastern Oregon • County seat: Fossil
Wheeler County is rugged dry country along the John Day River, with the colored clay hills of the Painted Hills, rimrock and juniper slopes. The Ochoco Mountains rise in its south, and the river winds through deep canyons below them.
