1967 Map of Bowen Valley

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Salisbury and the surrounding high desert terrain near Bowen Valley are defined by the winding course of the Powder River and the industrial infrastructure of the Union Pacific railroad. Mapping from the late 1960s with 1980s updates shows a landscape where water management and transportation are paramount, evidenced by Licklider Reservoir, the Vaughn Res, and a Gaging Station along the river. The presence of the Stewart Sch suggests a once-active rural community node, while labels like Quartz and various gravel pits indicate the area's mineral and resource extraction history. Significant portions of the southern terrain are sheltered within the Whitman National Forest, where the topography becomes increasingly complex with drainage systems such as Beaver Creek and Stices Gulch. Infrastructure features including a Weighing Station and Substation near the rail line highlight the valley's role as a transit corridor for goods and energy.
