You don't stumble onto Miller by accident. That's rather the point. Ralph H. Miller (March 9, 1919 – May 15, 2001) was an American college basketball coach, a head coach for 38 years at three universities: Wichita (now known as Wichita State), Iowa, and Oregon State.

Sherman County County holds 11 documented ghost towns, including De Moss Springs, Erskine, Grant — Miller keeps them company on the map.

The story of Miller

Oregon's ghost towns are timber camps and high-desert gold strikes, preserved by dry air and long distances.

Ralph H. Miller (March 9, 1919 – May 15, 2001) was an American college basketball coach, a head coach for 38 years at three universities: Wichita (now known as Wichita State), Iowa, and Oregon State. With an overall record of 657–382 (.632), his teams had losing records only three times. Prior to his final season, he was enshrined in the Basketball Hall of Fame on May 3, 1988. Miller played college football and basketball at the University of Kansas.

Miller sounds like exactly what it was — a working town, not a resort.
