Streck, Chair Michael L. Cummings Jonathan Fink John A.Wolff Dirk Iwata-Reuyl Portland State University 2016 © 2015 Arron Richard Steiner i ABSTRACT The Strawberry Volcanics of Northeast Oregon are a group of geochemically related lavas with a diverse chemical range (basalt to rhyolite) that erupted between 16.2 and 12.5 Ma and co-erupted with the large, (~200,000 km3) Middle Miocene tholeiitic lavas of the Columbia River Basalt Group (CRBG), which erupted near and geographically surround the Strawberry Volcanics. The rhyolitic lavas of the Strawberry Volcanics produced the oldest 40Ar/39Ar ages measured in this study with ages ranging from 16.2 Ma to 14.6 Ma, and have an estimated total erupted volume of 100 km3.

  • John Day Country
    JOHN DAY COUNTRY N;^ UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR/GEOLOGICAL SURVEY GEOLOGIC SETTING OF THE JOHN DAY COUNTRY, GRANT COUNTY, OREGON bv Thomas P. Thayer The town of John Day, the John Day River valley, and the Strawberry Range, looking south and southeast. One of the Pacific Northwest's most notable outdoor recreation areas, the "John Day Country" in northeastern Oregon, is named after a native Virginian who was a member of the Astor expedition to the mouth of the Columbia River in 1812. There is little factual information about John Day except that he was born in Culpeper County, Virginia, about 1770. It is known also that in 1810 this tall pioneer "with an elastic step as if he trod on springs" joined John Jacob Astor's overland expedition under Wilson Price Hunt to establish a vast fur-gathering network in the Western States based on a major trading post at the mouth of the Columbia River. The tailings piles left by gold dredges have been leveled for building sites since the photograph was taken in 1946. The expedition arrived in the vicinity of the Grand Tetons, in what is now Wyoming, in September 1811, and with the onset of winter met disaster along the Snake River. When they ran out of food near the present site of Twin Falls, Idaho, Hunt divided the expedition into four parties to seek food and a feasible route through the canyons. As described in Washington Irving's Astoria, the party that included John Day became widely separated from the others, experienced terrible hardships while wintering with Indians near Huntington, and was eventually reduced to just John Day and Ramsey Crooks.
