1967 Map of Brothers SW

About this map

Dry River meanders across this high desert landscape, carving a prominent path through the boundary between Crook County and Deschutes County. The terrain is defined by the elevation of Pine Ridge in the south, while the northern expanse is marked by scattered water sources essential for life in this arid region. These localized hubs, including Government Well, Israel Well, and King Well, speak to the logistical challenges of land management and grazing in Central Oregon during the late 1960s. The map also records the presence of Twin Pines as a distinct navigational landmark amidst the rising contours. Precise elevation markers, such as BM 4380 and BM 4593, provide a technical framework for the area's geography as it was recorded during this 1967 field survey.
