About this map

Beatty serves as a central hub in this high-desert landscape of the late 1980s, situated where the Sprague River meanders through the expansive Sprague River Valley. The region’s economic and logistical identity is defined by the Logging Railroad and the nearby Beatty Station, indicating the historical importance of the timber industry in south-central Oregon. Transitioning from the valley floor, the terrain rises into the Knot Tableland to the north and the timberlands of the Winema National Forest and Fremont National Forest to the south.

Local landmarks such as Spring Butte and Davis Hill punctuate the horizon, while several water sources like Smokey Lake and Whisky Creek snake through the valley. This map provides a detailed record of local infrastructure, from the Flying T Ranch Landing Strip to various specialized extraction sites like the Cinder Pit and Gravel Pits, alongside a rural Cem that marks the area's genealogical history.
