1969 Map of Balm Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Rhea Creek winds through the northern landscape of this 1969 Morrow County survey, serving as a focal point for early settlement activity marked by the Rhea Creek Cem. The terrain is defined by a complex network of drainage systems, including Lunceford Creek, Thorn Creek, and Spring Hollow Cr, which carve deep into the plateau. Evidence of land use and local heritage is visible in the numerous named canyons like Ridgeway Canyon and Gene Wood Canyon, while the southern portion of the quadrangle reaches into the Umatilla National Forest. Family-named landmarks such as Saling Spring and Warm Hill suggest a history of ranching and early homesteading in this part of Oregon. This survey captures the rural character of the area before modern developments, preserved through precise topographic contouring of features like Pine Hollow and Six Dollar Canyon.
