<DIV>Oregon Geographic Names by McArthur gives the following about Hay Creek
(excerpt):</DIV>
<DIV>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.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>According to the Handy Book for Genealogists, Jefferson County
was established in 1914 <U>from</U> Crook County so when the
census was taken in 1900 Hay Creek was probably still a part of Crook
County.

<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=5>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.</FONT></DIV>
