1968 Map of Big Pasture Creek

About this map

Steens Mountain dominates the eastern edge of this landscape, its steep slopes descending toward the dramatic chasm of Kiger Gorge. This late 1960s survey documents a high-elevation backcountry defined by deep drainage systems and seasonal water sources. The map reveals a complex network of seasonal flows including Big Pasture Creek, Kiger Creek, and the uniquely named Hole in the Ground Creek. Human activity is sparse in this environment, indicated primarily by a singular Doe Camp and a system of unimproved routes labeled Jeep Trail.
