Lonerock

Few communities in Oregon have a history as closely tied to a solitary boulder as Lonerock. This small Gilliam County settlement took its name from the prominent lone rock that became its local marker, recalling the practical naming traditions of Oregon’s nineteenth-century interior. It lies on the dry, rolling uplands of the Columbia Plateau, where grain fields, grazing land and broad skies shape north-central Oregon. Far from the state’s coast and metropolitan centres, Lonerock reflects the scale of rural communities that serve this agricultural country.
