1967 Map of Billy Meadows

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Wallowa National Forest land defines this corner of northeastern Oregon, where the landscape is characterized by high ridges and a dense network of mountain springs. In the late 1960s, this area served as a hub for forest management and seasonal livestock grazing, anchored by the Billy Meadows Guard Station and the Lookout Tower situated on Red Hill. The map reveals a specialized infrastructure for backcountry operations, including the Hollow Log Cow Camp and Hay Pen Camp, alongside water management features like Volstead Reservoir and McCarty Reservoir. A labyrinth of established routes such as the Aspen Spring Trail and the Telephone Trail connect these remote outposts. Numerous named water sources, including Poker Bill Spring, Yew Wood Spring, and Phils Spring, illustrate the vital role of groundwater in sustaining both the local ecosystem and the seasonal camps scattered across Long Ridge and Getchel Ridge.
