1967 Map of Bowen Valley

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Bowen Valley is defined by the winding course of the Powder River, where the valley floor transitions into the timbered slopes of the Whitman National Forest. In the late 1960s, this area of Baker County centered on the settlement of Salisbury and its surrounding agricultural and ranching landscape. Evidence of early rural infrastructure remains visible through features like the Stewart Sch and the Licklider Reservoir, while the presence of the Union Pacific railroad and a Gaging Station on the river reflect the importance of transport and water management in this high-desert environment. The eastern portion of the map is deeply dissected by a network of drainage systems including Sutton Creek and Beaver Creek, with numerous named springs such as Waldo Spring serving as vital water sources for the cattle and wildlife roaming the varied gulches and canyons.
