1972 Map of Alder Creek
USGS Topo · Published 1975About this map
Littlefield Cem sits in the lower drainage of Skull Creek, marking a quiet historical point in this high-desert portion of eastern Oregon. During the early 1970s, the landscape here was defined by an extensive network of ephemeral drainages like Dry Creek and Cottonwood Creek, supplemented by numerous small-scale water management projects. Ranching and remote habitation are evident at Gugle Ranch and Miller Cabin, while the prominent landform of Red Butte overlooks several man-made catchments, including Red Butte Reservoir No 1 and Red Butte Reservoir No 2. A complex system of unnamed tracks and a Jeep Trail link these remote outposts, reflecting the practical navigation required for land management in Malheur County during this era.
