1968 Map of Big Pasture Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Steens Mountain dominates this high-elevation landscape, where deep glacial-cut features like Kiger Gorge define the drainage patterns of southeastern Oregon. Surveyed in the late 1960s, the map reveals a remote environment primarily utilized for seasonal grazing and back-country access, anchored by Doe Camp in the western reaches. A network of high-desert water sources flows from the peaks, including Cucamonga Creek, Horton Creek, and the uniquely named Hole in the Ground Creek. Human presence is minimal, recorded only through an intricate system of a Jeep Trail, Trail, and Pack Trail that follow the natural contours of the ridges and creek beds. This document captures the stark hydrological network of the Big Pasture Creek area before modern recreation patterns altered the primary usage of these traditional range lands.
