The State Highway Department has completed a survey of the McKenzie
River Highway in Wheeler County from the boundary of the Ochoco National
Forest west of Mitchell to the Grant County Line near Dayville, a total
distance of 48 miles. This survey was made by Locating Engineer R. H.
Coppock. The plans are complete except for the eight miles west from the
Grant County line.
From the west end of this survey at Ochoco Forest boundary, the Federal
Office of Public Roads has made a survey to the Crook County line, so
the survey of the McKenzie River Highway is complete all of the way
through Wheeler County.
