[or-roots] Hay Creek

Oregon Geographic Names by McArthur gives the following about Hay Creek  
(excerpt):
Hay Creek - Jefferson County. There are a number of Hay creeks in  Oregon 
but the most important historically is the stream that drains a  considerable 
area east of Madras and flows northward to Trout  Creek.... Hay Creek post 
office was established on the Wasco County  list in December, 1875, with 
Lafayette Tirrill postmaster.
 
According to the Handy Book for Genealogists, Jefferson County  was 
established in  1914 from Crook County so when the  census was taken in 1900 Hay 
Creek was probably still a part of Crook  County.              Mimi Stang

I just found my great grandfather  Edward Eldridge Elkin on the 1900 Crook 
County census. I can't seem to  find where it is located on any map I find.  
 Does anyone have an  idea as to where in Crook County it is/was located? 
Any help would be greatly  appreciated.
 
Thank you
Marilyn Drake
