1980 Map of Brogan

About this map

Willow Creek flows through the heart of this high-desert landscape, connecting the agricultural pockets of Brogan and Jamieson with the rail-driven commerce of the era. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes from Cottonwood Mountain to the broad West Weiser Flat, showing a region where water rights and ranching routes dictated the placement of settlements. The map documents the infrastructure of the late twentieth century, including the Union Pacific line and the crossing of the Snake River near Huntington. Historically significant sites like Malheur City and the Crawford Place (Site) offer reference points for genealogists and local historians tracing the shifting populations of Baker and Malheur Counties. From the high ridges of the Slaughterhouse Range to the valley floor at Ontario, the map provides a comprehensive view of the boundary lands between Oregon and Idaho.
