2011 Map of Brown Creek

About this map

Wasco Butte and the surrounding high flats of Wasco County define this landscape of water management and varied terrain. In the early 21st century, the region's reliance on managed water sources is evident through features like Wicks Reservoir, Trigg Reservoir, and the Liechti Pond system. The map reveals a transition from the structured grazing of the Thousand Acre Pasture to the dramatic relief of Blackburn Canyon and Indian Hollow. For those tracing local history or family heritage, the Obrist Cemetery near the southern border serves as a significant genealogical landmark. Small aviation sites like Chenoweth Airpark and Pointers Airfield highlight the modern rural infrastructure, while the drainage of Mill Creek and its associated Mill Creek Falls provides a natural framework for the eastern half of the quadrangle.
