About this map

Malheur National Forest dominates this mid-1990s survey, illustrating a landscape defined by timber, water management, and high-elevation passage. The Middle Fork John Day River cuts across the northern terrain, feeding industrial and natural features like the Log Pond and Bates Pond near the settlement of Bates. These water bodies and nearby sites like the Quarry and Gravel Pit reflect the area's resource-based economy during this era. High-altitude points such as Dixie Butte and the Dixie Summit pass underscore the region's topographical challenges for travelers on the Long Prairie Creek Rd. The presence of the Ranger District headquarters and a network of springs, including Dixie Spring and Huckleberry Spring, highlights the active federal management of these public lands for both conservation and recreational use.
