1943 Map of Aldrich Mtn.

About this map

The John Day River flows through the northern reaches of this territory, where isolated homesteads like Black Ranch and Gay Ranch once established a foothold in the high desert terrain. Surveyed at the turn of the 1940s, the map reveals a landscape defined by ranching and resource extraction, anchored by the presence of the Oregon Mine and the Murderers Creek Guard Station. Settlers relied on essential river passages such as Stewarts Crossing and Moores Crossing, while children in the remote district attended the Mountain View Sch. A poignant landmark of early pioneering, the Aldrich Grave, rests near the creek that shares its name, under the shadow of Aldrich Mtn. This record captures a network of cabins and springs, from Buck Cabin to Roaring Spr, that supported a rural life connected by rugged driveways and pack trails through the canyons.
