1988 Map of Bowman Dam

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

Bowman Dam stands as the central engineering feature of this central Oregon landscape, impounding the Crooked River to create the expansive Prineville Reservoir. This 1988 map reflects a region managed for both water resources and conservation, highlighted by the Prineville Reservoir State Wildlife Area along the northern banks. The terrain transitions from the water's edge to significant volcanic elevations, including Taylor Butte and Bear Creek Butte in the southeast. A network of resource extraction is evident through numerous prospects and a quarry located near the dam. Water sources are critical in this arid environment, with several unnamed springs and springs documented alongside drainage systems like Williamson Creek and Bear Creek. Bear Creek Road provides the primary east-west transit across the high desert plateaus and through Rocky Canyon.
