1971 Map of Bronx Canyon

About this map

Buck Hollow carves a deep path across the boundary of Sherman and Wasco Counties in this 1971 survey. The landscape is defined by its complex drainage network, where Bronx Canyon, Finnegan Canyon, and Mule Canyon converge toward the main hollow. At the center of the sheet lies the Liberty (Site), marking the location of a former settlement. While human presence is sparse, the map documents a few utilitarian landmarks of the early 1970s, including a Landing Strip, a Well, and a Gravel Pit. Transportation is limited to a handful of primary routes like Bakeoven Road and primitive paths such as the Bronx Trail and various Jeep Trails. Water sources are critical in this high-desert environment, noted by Bibby Pond and scattered Springs that appear at the base of several draws.
